Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Parmesan to the panko breadcrumbs, and stir to combine.

Toss each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then coat in the breadcrumbs.

Transfer them to a large baking tray lined with an oven-safe wire rack, and bake for 40 – 45 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken used) until cooked through.
