Ingredients for Baked Chicken Oregano

  • Dry Breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Dried Oregano Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves

How to Make Baked Chicken Oregano

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard evenly over both sides of 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total).
  5. Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto both sides of the mustard-coated chicken breasts.
  6. Place chicken breasts on the prepared jelly roll pan.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (Optional: Add 2 extra uncoated chicken breasts to the pan during the last 15 minutes for use in salads or sandwiches.)
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
