Preheat the oven: Position a rack in the center of your oven and heat it to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken: Place the chicken cutlets in a baking dish and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, instant chicken bouillon (if using), and 1 teaspoon of paprika.
Prepare the topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, parmesan cheese, black pepper, minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons of paprika, Italian seasoning, parsley, and red chili pepper flakes (if using).
Bake the chicken: Pour the buttery garlic parmesan mixture over the chicken, reserving some for serving if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Serve and enjoy: Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side—cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad. Drizzle with the reserved sauce for extra flavor.
