Brainy Rustic Baked Parmesan Encrusted Chicken...



Whether you are hurried by the rush of everyday life or coping with lock-down restrictions these days, it takes no time at all to make a savory home-cooked dish like this; even, if you don't have a brick oven, your own kitchen oven can bake up a delicious rustic chicken Parmesan.

For this savory dish you will need: boneless, skinless chicken breasts (per guest), mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, sea salt and dried herbs. To begin, turn on the oven and pre-heat to 400.

Next, take the thawed or fresh chicken breasts from the refrigerator and either cut length wise if they are exceptionally thick or use as they are. 

Then, drizzle olive oil onto an oblong glass baking dish and lay in your chicken breasts. Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top, sprinkle with garlic powder and sea salt. Let bake on 350 until the meat starts to turn white. 

Finally, take the chicken out from the oven, using a spatula, generously spread mayo over the top of each chicken breast. And, generously sprinkle each breast with grated Parmesan cheese and top with fresh dried herbs: rosemary, mint and of course oregano. 

Return to the oven and bake on 375 for about 15 min or until the tops are crusty brown and the chicken is cooked through. You can also use the broiler option on your oven to get a crustier top. But, keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.


In the meantime, before the chicken is done, prepare your sides: angel hair pasta, and a green salad.
