Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dip each piece of chicken into the melted butter, then roll in the Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Parmesan mixture. If you have picky eaters at home, you can substitute chicken tenders for a more familiar shape. For a gluten-free option, ensure that your Parmesan cheese is free from any fillers. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to change up the flavor profile. If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, add minced fresh garlic to the butter before coating the chicken.
