DELECTABLE Baked Chicken will become one of your new favorite chicken recipe!
The sound of the ocean, snuggling with newborn babies, bacon, chocolate, pasta, wine, movies, cooking, these are a few of my favorite things. What makes this baked chicken my favorite is the simplicity of making it along side the beautiful combination of flavors. Olive oil keeps this baked chicken so moist and the garlic so flavorful. The bread crumb parmesan mixture with a hint of basil is a harmonious blend of flavor and texture. This simple combination of flavors is mild and perfect for your entire family to love.
Sides to serve with Baked Chicken
Quick sides to pair with the baked chicken are Dill Roasted Carrots and Simple Cucumbers. I also make this favorite chicken to go along side my famous Bacon Mac n’ Cheese that my family and friends go crazy for. But no matter what you are pairing the chicken with you are going to love having this recipe as a new staple in your weekly dinner menu.

Yum, Sounds delicious Klara!
Yum! Absolutely delicious! Made this tonight and it was super easy and quick!!!
How many stars would you give it karolina?
Hi there! I just made this last night, and it was really yummy.
The only thing I’d change up is the parmesan to bread crumb ratio. I personally found the parm to be a bit overpowering to the other flavours. That could be personal preference (and probably is), but it’s still super yummy.
I’ll be making these again for sure.

Thank you so much Margo! 🙂
Love your pork tenderloin. It’s in the crockpot right now! Can you clarify about the breadcrumbs. What do you use for this chicken recipe? Also, fresh grated parmesan or the stuff in a plastic container? Thanks.
Wendy, Yum enjoy your tenderloin today! The Baked Chicken you can use any bread crumbs of choice, but I prefer Trader Joe’s organic Bread Crumb(in brown bag) As for the parmesan, you can use fresh grated which is best, but you can substitute and use the can if that’s all you have.
This is the third time that I have made your crockpot pork tenderloin. My husband requested it…again! It is so easy and really yummy! Thank you for a good recipe that I intend to use now and in years to come!
