Start by introducing the recipe and ingredients needed for crispy garlic rosemary chicken breasts.

Thinly slice chicken cutlets and set aside.

Grate fresh Parmesan cheese and combine it with panko breadcrumbs and Italian seasoned breadcrumbs in a pie plate.

Mince fresh rosemary and garlic, removing the rosemary from the stem.

In a cold skillet, add olive oil, minced garlic, minced rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the skillet, then stir to combine.

Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce to low and let it cook for about 5 minutes without browning.

After 5 minutes, remove the mixture from heat and transfer it to a pie plate, smashing the garlic with a fork to infuse more flavor into the oil.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare a 13x9 baking dish and set up an assembly line with the chicken, oil mixture, and breadcrumb mixture.

Dip each piece of chicken into the oil mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture and coat thoroughly.

Place the coated chicken pieces into the baking dish.

Drizzle any remaining oil mixture over the chicken in the baking dish for added flavor.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

At the end of the baking time, turn on the broiler and broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, checking frequently to avoid burning.

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and check for doneness; it should be golden brown and crispy.
