2. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.

Bake the Chicken

2. Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

How to Store

If you have any leftover chicken, you can save it for later. Put it in a container that closes tightly and keep it in the fridge. When you want to eat it again, it’s a good idea to use the oven to warm it up. Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and put the chicken in for about 10-15 minutes. This way, it will stay nice and crispy, not just like when it was freshly cooked of course.
