Oven Baked Chicken Supreme

Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare four individual bowls: one with melted oleo, one with flour and seasoning salt, one with beaten egg and water, and one with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast first in the melted oleo, then in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the bread crumb mixture to coat evenly.
- Fit a rack into a 13 x 9-inch shallow baking dish.
- Spray the rack with cooking spray or lightly oil it, then place the coated chicken breasts on the rack.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
- Optional: Place under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. To enhance flavor, add garlic powder or Italian herbs to the breadcrumb mixture. You can also experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella for a creamier texture. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding cayenne pepper to the seasoning salt. Ensure the chicken is at room temperature before baking for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Oven Baked Chicken Supreme with a side of herbed corn bread stuffing for a comforting meal. A fresh green salad or steamed vegetables pairs nicely, adding a refreshing contrast. For an extra treat, drizzle with a tangy lemon sauce or serve with a creamy dip. This dish also pairs beautifully with Marie'S Chicken Salad for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover baked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. For a crispier texture, you can reheat it in an air fryer for about 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the chicken soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on chicken breasts for this recipe?
Yes, you can use skin-on chicken breasts for added flavor and moisture. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly, as skin-on pieces may take a bit longer to cook through. The skin will also become crispy and delicious during baking.
What can I use instead of oleo?
You can substitute oleo with melted butter or olive oil. Both will add rich flavor to the chicken. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative works well too, maintaining the recipe's integrity.
How can I make this dish more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for a couple of hours before breading. Adding spices like paprika or Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture can also elevate the taste. Try serving it with a side of Impossibly Easy Chicken And Broccoli Pie for more variety.
