Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breasts on a plate and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a slightly pasty texture.
Using a brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic-Parmesan mixture over each chicken breast. Make sure each breast is well coated on all sides for maximum flavor.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish. You might want to lightly grease the baking dish with a little bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The coating should be golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
For an extra touch, you can garnish with some freshly chopped parsley or a light sprinkle of additional grated Parmesan cheese.
