This Homemade Shake and Bake offers a crispy, seasoned coating for chicken without any frying. It’s easy to prepare, quick to cook, and perfect for a family meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 chicken breasts

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large Ziplock bag, combine breadcrumbs, cornstarch, garlic salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, parsley, and thyme.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the breadcrumb mix and shake until it's sandy in texture.
  • Coat each chicken breast in the remaining olive oil.
  • Place chicken in the bag with the breadcrumb mixture one at a time and shake until well coated.

Notes

Using panko breadcrumbs will give an extra crunch.
Allow chicken to come to room temperature for even cooking.
Experiment with spices for different flavor profiles.
