Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a shallow bowl or pie pan.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl or pie pan, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Step 4

Trim off any fat from the chicken breasts. Filet the chicken by cutting them in half lengthwise so that you have 8 pieces of chicken.

Step 5

Dip both sides of the chicken breasts in the butter to coat the chicken with the butter.

Step 6

Quickly dip the chicken in the bread crumb mixture and press the mixture into both sides of the chicken breasts to make sure that it’s thoroughly coated.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.  Continue this process until all the chicken is coated.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chicken breasts halfway through the baking time, until the chicken is browned and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes and then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!
