Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in the prepared baking dish and brush both sides with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Press the Parmesan mixture firmly onto both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
