- Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Chefs Notes
- For even cooking, pound thicker chicken breasts to a uniform thickness before baking.
- Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the topping mixture for extra flavor.
- Leftovers reheat beautifully and make a delicious next-day lunch.
