Ingredients

  • 525G Typically Packington Free Range Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets
  • 250G Granoro Breadcrumbs, 250G
  • 250 ml Balsamic Vinegar Honey 250Ml
  • 80 Ml Ladolea Set Of 2 Lemon & Oregano Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 80Ml

Instructions

  1. 1. Place 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently flatten them to an even thickness using a mallet.
  2. 2. In a shallow dish, pour 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and add the chicken fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. 3. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  4. 4. In a separate shallow dish, spread 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess balsamic vinegar to drip off, and coat each fillet lightly with the breadcrumbs.
  5. 5. Arrange the breaded chicken fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  6. 6. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes on one side. Flip the fillets and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. 7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy your herb-crusted Italian chicken with your favorite side dish.
