  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. In a small saucepan, warm olive oil and garlic over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl.

  3. In a separate shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

  4. Using tongs, dip chicken breasts in the olive oil-garlic mixture, then coat them evenly in the bread crumb mixture.

  5. Place the coated chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear. You can check the doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the chicken; it should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
