Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange a rack in the center of the oven.
2. Pat chicken breasts dry and, if desired, score the surface lightly to help seasoning adhere.
3. In a bowl, combine Breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Garlic, and Paprika.
4. Pat the mixture firmly onto the top of each chicken breast to form a crust.
