Gluten Free Parmesan Baked Chicken Recipe
You can never have too many easy chicken dishes in your recipe box.
Chicken is readily available, a relatively inexpensive form of protein, and for most of us, a go-to dinner-time staple.
This Gluten Free Parmesan Baked Chicken recipe is one of my go-to recipes because it is simple, uses just a handful of ingredients, and is ready in almost no time.
Giving lean chicken breasts a quick marinade infuses the otherwise tasteless meat with tons of flavor and coating them with a mixture of gluten free panko style breadcrumbs and Parmesan ensure a crispy crust and juicy, tender meat inside.
If chicken makes its way to your dinner table often and you are looking for a no-fail way to turn boring into bright, give this easy recipe a try!
Recipe notes: It is always a good idea to start with organic, hormone-free chicken breasts. Fresh herbs impart the best flavor, especially since the chicken has such a short marinating time but if all you have is dry, use them and use the herbs you like best. I like Kinnikinnick’s gluten free panko style breadcrumbs, they have great crunch. If you skip the step of spraying your chicken breasts with cooking spray or olive oil before putting them in the oven, they won’t brown as well but will still be delicious.

- 6 6-ounces each boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced or grated
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
