How to Make Baked Golden Garlic Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
- Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in the egg mixture in a glass dish. Turn to coat completely.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to marinate.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of butter in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Dip each marinated chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumb mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Bake for 20 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the crust is golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and top each chicken breast with 2 thin pats (about 1 teaspoon each) of butter.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve immediately with buttered egg noodles and a crisp salad. Enjoy!
