Parmesan Herb Crusted Chicken w/ Mashed Potatoes

Baked Parmesan and Herb Crusted Chicken

This Parmesan Herb Crusted Chicken takes a different spin on the classic parmesan crusted chicken recipe. The parmesan crust does not fully cover the chicken breast so you can enjoy the best of both.

It’s a flavorful dish which combines the nutty taste of Parmesan cheese, Mediterranean herbs and spices, along with a satisfying crispy chicken bite to create a scrumptious and comforting meal.

The Parmesan does a lot of work here in terms of aroma, but it cannot withstand the high temperatures of the oven alone. The breadcrumbs give it structure, the finely chopped fresh herbs provide some extra flavor, and the egg brings everything together.

Instructions:

Mix the egg with the cheese, breadcrumbs, and finely chopped fresh herbs until well combined. Place the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 0.5 cm (0.2 inch). Using parchment paper makes it easy to flatten it to our desired thickness (see images below).

Chicken Breast

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and fry on both sides in a pan over a high heat. Add some oil to a pan and fry on high heat until both sides are nicely browned.

Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking tray, and generously spread the Parmesan crust mixture on top of each.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them around the chicken on the baking tray. Also season them with salt and pepper.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). It will take only 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven to bake to perfection. The chicken should be firm to the touch and the crust a golden brown hue.
