Monday- Cheddar Chicken

Adapted from recipe submitted to AllRecipes.com by Baylor66

Chef’s Notes: I made this chicken a couple of Saturdays ago, and it was so great that I had to make it on a weekday so that I could share! The best part is the cheddar and breadcrumb crisps that form around the chicken. I mean, it’s so good that insanity might ensure! If that happens, don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!

Plan of Attack:

1. Preheat oven

2. Brown garlic in butter

3. Coat chicken & bake

Ingredients for 2:

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/3 C panko breadcrumbs

¼ C grated parmesan

½ C grated cheddar cheese

1/8 tsp dried parsley

1/8 tsp dried oregano

1/8 tsp black pepper

Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a small saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat. Then add the garlic and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. In a shallow bowl mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper
4. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray; set aside
5. Dip the chicken breast in the garlic/butter mixture on both sides, and then dredge in the cheese mixture. Place in the prepped baking dish and sprinkle the remaining garlic/butter mixture and cheese mixture around the chicken.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink
7. Enjoy!
