02 - 60 grams all-purpose flour
03 - 25 grams grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
06 - ¼ teaspoon salt

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Set the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.

# Helpful Notes:

03 - Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes post-baking to retain juiciness.
04 - Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; target internal temperature is 74°C.
