Oven Baked Chicken

Oven Baked Chicken

Parmesan cheese mixed with breadcrumbs creates a golden brown crunchy coating on this oven baked chicken. If you add herbs to the recipe it can change the way it tastes. For flavor variations try mixing ½ teaspoon dried herbs, such as rosemary or sate, into the melted butter mixture.

INGREDIENTS

½ Cup Dried Breadcrumbs

¼ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley

½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

¼ Teaspoon Salt

½ Cup Melted Butter

3 Teaspoons Finely Chopped Garlic

6 (4 Ounce) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, pepper and salt in a shallow bowl. Set aside. Combine the butter and garlic in a pie pan. Dip 1 chicken breast at a time into the butter mixture. Place into the breadcrumb mixture. Turn to coat evenly. Place the chicken breasts into an ungreased medium sized baking pan. Drizzle with any of the remaining butter mixture. Bake for 30 minutes until chicken is lightly browned and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Serves 6
