Baked Parmesan and Herb Chicken

What a gorgeous day today was! Mind you it felt like an oven the majority of the time, but that’s what I love about summer…always an excuse to head to the pool. Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury of being a stay-at-home housewife (although I wish I could be!) so I was enjoying the view of this wonderful weather from my office window. Le sigh.

Although the great thing about my job is that I have the internet at my disposal and can find yummy recipes! I was looking for a light chicken dish that would be quick and simple. I had lots of fresh rosemary, thyme and parmesan cheese on hand so this recipe looked perfect! I lightened it up by cutting back on the amount of butter asked for and chose to use chicken cutlets instead of full breasts, but other than that this was pretty perfect on its own!

What I really love most about this recipe, aside from the fresh herbs of course, is the Dijon, Worcestershire and garlic mixture that you dip the chicken into! I found that this combination of flavors really accompanied each other well and made this dish absolutely delicious! I paired the chicken with brown rice and rosemary-olive oil bread and it did not disappoint. Perfect summer meal that was light yet very filling!

RECIPE

Baked Parmesan and Herb Chicken

Yield: 4 servings 1x

Scale

Ingredients

4 skinless chicken cutlets
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
4 Tbsp light butter
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. minced garlic

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic. Remove from heat.
Dip chicken in butter mixture, roll in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure all crumbs cling. Place on baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!

Kelly,

What a great recipe! I will definitely give this a try. Thank you for posting the nutritional analysis, too! I’m sure you must have a program for that but it sure is a nice touch.

Aww thank you! Hehe actually I don’t have a program, I calculate the nutritional information of each ingredient based on the package and use my trusty calculator 🙂 Wish there was an easier way!!

I love panko crumbs – they make everything crunchy without frying. Love the herbs in this recipe.

Ooh! I’m digging the addition of Worcestershire and mustard (altho just a smidge for me – not a big mustard fan). I make something nearly identical aside from those 2 additions and it’s great – I do half butter, half EVOO, tho.

Actually, I just made fish with this coating (minus worcestershire and mustard) and it’s to die for. It’s my go-to fish coating.

I just jumped over here when I saw the title of your blog. I’m totally eating right now, but myself is not getting skinny. In fact, it’s kind of doing that whole opposite thing. I don’t appreciate that.

This recipe looks awesome and I’ve actually been craving chicken all day.
