Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with foil, set aside. To a large bowl add the chicken, paprika, crushed up bouillon cube, onion powder, garlic powder and lemon juice, mix with your hands until well coated. Evenly place on the baking sheet.

  • In a medium sized bowl add the oil, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and paprika, stir until combined. Scoop only half of the mixture and plop on each chicken and slightly spread out on top. Save the other half for after the chicken is cooked.
    2 tbsp vegetable oil, 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp of garlic, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, 1 tsp of paprika
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Once done cooking, scoop the leftover mixture from the bowl on top again. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • The seasoning not sticking to the chicken? Brush a little oil on first.
  • If the butter firms up, pop the mixture back in the microwave to melt it again.
  • Make sure not to touch the chicken with a utensil and put it back in the sauce. I like to just spoon it over without touching the chicken breasts and then use a pastry brush to spread it out.
