Last year I shared the recipe for Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken. These were delicious cheesy, garlic Parmesan and corn flakes crusted chicken breasts stuffed with cheddar cheese.
But, this time I keep my new Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe simple and classic. So, I used bread crumbs instead corn flakes. To make it extra crispy and flavorful, I added dry Italian seasoning in bread crumbs, alongside the Parmesan cheese.
