From the crunchy exterior to the juicy interior, this chicken is cooked to perfection. The flavorful and crispy panko mixture gives this chicken a fried feel without any added oil. The dried and fresh rosemary combine to provide an aromatic and herby coating that tastes delicious with the creaminess of the parmesan cheese.
By adding half a lime or lemon to the marinade you can get a more zesty flavor profile. Or throw your chicken in a ranch dressing marinade for some added creaminess. Regardless of how you marinade your chicken breasts, ensure you let them sit for a minimum of an hour to experience the full flavor.
