I’m a big fan of fried chicken but it takes a while to fry and leaves me with a greasy mess in the kitchen. The next best thing is oven-fried chicken.
It probably wasn’t a “pretty” dish setting on our dinner table but it made up for it in good taste. I’m not saying this is as delicious as deep-fried chicken but it’s healthier and was really moist and delicious. The breading makes the chicken juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside. And it’s not greasy!
If there is any leftover, it’s great the next day cut up in a salad!
Oven-fried Chicken
Ingredients:
¾ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, skin removed
1/3 cup butter, melted
Method:
Combine first 5 ingredients.
Dip chicken in melted butter.
Dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
Place in a greased baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until tender.
ENJOY!

Hi Pam!This chicken must be so delicious!I will definitely try it out!Jaana
This look amazing and delicious!! gloria
Love fried chicken too...I make it this way quiet often. Sometimes it even makes you forget it hasn't been fried!
I would eat this cold out of the fridge if there happened to be any leftovers at all! man does this ever look mouth watering!
I do a lot of flour, egg, breadcrumbs coatings. Starting with melted butter? Who knew. It will happen here soon.
YUM!!
Love how it's not as messy either! Perfect for a group dinner...just kept warm in the oven being carful not to dry out - I am looking for such a dish this weekend...it's on my short list now!
Love it, well anything with parmesan I LOVE
Been some time since I baked a chicken. I'm a fried chickenlover too...! :D
That is one perfectly baked chicken piece..yumm! :D
One of my favorites! Quick, easy, low mess and fairly healthy, its a winner :) I'm gonna have to try the addition of butter next time, yum :)
Yum!!!!!
Pam, these chicken sounds terrific for my family. Bookmarked this for later use. Hope you're having a great day.
Blessings, Kristy
The chicken looks delicious Pam and the mashed potatoes and gravy look even better.
what a nice recipe!! YUM!
I am definitely not a person who likes frying things, so an oven baked version is right up my alley.
I love the addition of parmesan cheese. Sounds simple and I think my little one would love it!
LOVE oven frying. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
Que ricura asà fritito.
Saludos
Cleaner AND healthier, I'm sure. It looks delicious.
Pam, I love chicken cooked this way! My wife uses the Italian Breadcrumbs for a bit more pop... It's one of my favorites. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Yum! This sounds great:) I love that it's done in the oven!
No splatter fried chicken :) that is the dream! Looks amazing
Dear Pam, I was about to cook this same recipe to post some ofc these days, my kids used to call it: non-fried- fried chicken. Yours looks gorgeous! big hugs, and sorry for not visiting, hope to catch up from now on:)
You are right Pam, nothing like fried fried chicken! Your baked chicken sound as good and delicious! Not as crispy maybe but still scrumptious! Love your parmesan chicken with a good salad! Cheers!!!
This chicken looks positively delicious! Love the breading and the fact that it's baked and not fried. Thanks for another great recipe!
Delish! Always looking for a healthier version of the classics. This sounds great!
I love oven fried chicken - yours looks perfectly delicious!
The last time I had oven-fried chicken I was shocked at how closely it resembled real fried chicken! This looks great!
How funny; I fixed almost the same recipe using chicken strips a couple of days ago. Instead of dipping the chicken in melted butter, I dipped it in buttermilk. Great minds think a like. LOL!
I love fried chicken so much! I find it a little easier to make since I got a deep fryer, but even with the deep fryer you have to be careful about burning. That is one of the biggest advantages to the oven-fry method. There is less worry about burning and you can coat with ingredients that would burn way too quickly in hot oil.
I love fried chicken as well but due to healthy reasons and diet I prefer the oven baked! This one looks so crispy!
Oven fried chicken is delicious, especially with the Parmesan cheese! Yours looks so good!

Love the parm in there... bet this is delish!
I'm a big fan of fried chicken. Yum! This looks somewhat similar to a recipe I found on the back of a saltines box once (you basically pulverized the saltines and used those in place of the bread crumbs, which made for a salty chicken.)
I love fried chicken, but I agree it is not easy or really fun to make. Your healthier version looks yummy:)
Hi Pam. This looks tasty. I love fried chicken, but I hate the mess and all the calories. This looks far better. Thank you for sharing with me tonight. After such a difficult week, it has been so refreshing to return to the blogs (and bloggers) that I love. I hope you have a blessed Sunday, sweet girl!
Now, I want chicken. Looks so yummy.
