Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted (1 stick), if using salted, reduce the added salt)

- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ tsp kosher salt

Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, top each chicken breast with extra breadcrumb topping.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This allows the chicken to become juicier.
