Parmesan Chicken Breast on vegetables These chicken breasts are so juicy, and bursting with flavour. The exterior gets a delicious crunch without the use any kind of breading or flour. The trick is in stuffing Parmesan cheese right under the skin and finishing them in high heat. I am in love with this dish!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 45 to 55 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 2 large portions

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts (I used bone-in)
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp dried basil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Gently lift skin from chicken, but do not separate. Dash some salt and pepper on all sides of chicken breasts.

In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, basil, garlic, and a drop or two of the oil.

Spoon the mixture under the skin, then use your fingers to spread and press it around to evenly distribute it.

Heat remaining oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add chicken pieces, skin side down, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip over and cook another 5 minutes, then transfer to the oven to finish baking, about 30 more minutes. At the very last 5 minutes, use 450 F to achieve crispy skin.

Attosa, Oh, wow! I have to agree with you. This looks and sounds like a fabulous crispy chicken breast recipe. I like using bone-in chicken breast, it is moister, more flavorful, and like your recipe, you can do so much more.

I am going to try this recipe this weekend. Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!
