Follow these easy steps to create your own Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken with minimal hassle:

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and achieves that crispiness everyone loves.

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook uniformly.

1. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until smooth.

1. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer on all sides.

1. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the breaded chicken breasts on the sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

1. Bake: Place the sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.

1. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added color and freshness.

1. Serve Hot: Serve the chicken immediately with your choice of sides for a complete meal.

By following these simple steps, you’ll achieve a fantastic dish that's worthy of any celebration.
