Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture for a few hours or overnight. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best taste and texture. Keep an eye on the chicken while it bakes to avoid overcooking; it should be juicy and tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
