Preparation Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness of ½ inch and season with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Dunk each seasoned chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure coating sticks.
Bake the chicken on the prepared baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until coating is golden brown and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
