Tips & Tricks (5)

Cheese Quality Matters 🧀
Always use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged, as it provides superior flavor and melting properties for the crust.
Moisture Barrier Technique 🧴
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the chicken before adding breadcrumbs to create a rich, golden, and extra-crispy coating that seals in moisture.
Herb Infusion Hack 🌿
Mix dried herbs directly into your breadcrumb mixture to ensure even distribution and maximum flavor penetration throughout the crust.
Uniform Thickness Trick 📏
Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness before coating to ensure consistent cooking and prevent dry edges.
Crunch Preservation Tip 🍳
Place coated chicken on a wire rack before baking to allow air circulation and maintain the crispiness of the Parmesan herb crust.
