This ‘Merry Morsel Magic’ has been my go-to this season; it’s a crowd-pleaser every single time!

Parmesan herb baked chicken is one of those go-to recipes that I love to whip up on a busy weeknight. It’s quick, flavorful, and feels like a comforting hug after a long day. Growing up in the Midwest, chicken dinners were a staple in our household, and this recipe brings back those cozy family dinner vibes. The combination of parmesan and herbs gives the chicken a deliciously crispy crust, while keeping it juicy and tender inside. It’s perfect for anyone looking to add a little gourmet flair to their everyday meals without spending hours in the kitchen.

This parmesan herb baked chicken pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts. If you’re in the mood for something heartier, try serving it alongside garlic mashed potatoes or a creamy risotto. A side of crusty bread would also be perfect for soaking up any extra juices from the chicken.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (such as basil, oregano, and thyme)
