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

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a shallow bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.

Press each chicken breast into the parmesan mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated.

Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the parmesan mixture. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the panko breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour. You can also try using different herbs like rosemary or parsley for a unique flavor twist. For meal prep, this chicken can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it a great option for quick lunches or dinners.
