Shake-and-Bake Chicken

Crispy, seasoned oven-baked chicken coated in a flavorful breadcrumb mixture.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large zipper bag or a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub each piece so it is evenly coated.
  • Work with one chicken breast at a time: add it to the breadcrumb mixture, shake or press to coat thoroughly, then transfer the coated breast to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Once all chicken pieces are coated and arranged on the baking sheet, bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  • If the crust becomes too brown before the chicken reaches temperature, tent loosely with foil and continue baking until done.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use a zipper bag for easier shaking and less cleanup.
  • Check internal temperature to ensure doneness.
  • Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
