Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Dry breadcrumbs
• 0.33 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

Rub each chicken breast with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is well coated on all sides. Shake off excess breadcrumbs if necessary.

Step 6

Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the tops of the chicken to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Chicken Oreganata with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy finish. Enjoy!
