Amy's Garlic Egg Chicken

Recipe View Marinate the Chicken: In a glass dish, whisk together the egg yolk and chopped garlic. (5 minutes). Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (4+ hours)

Recipe View Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Prepare the Baking Dish and Crumb Mixture: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. (2 minutes). Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, coating it evenly. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Coat and Arrange the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. One at a time, dredge each chicken breast in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining egg mixture from the marinade over the chicken. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30-40 minutes)

Recipe View Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. (5 minutes)
