Recipe: Garlic Cheddar Chicken



I had this recipe on my menu list for weeks. Every time it would come time to make it, we'd either be out of town or eating sushi...but once we finally got home from our trips, I pulled the chicken out of the freezer and decided to get cooking! This is a very easy meal to make, and super delicious! This is definitely a mouth-watering meal and it will be on the menu again soon!


Here's the recipe:

1/2 cup butter
4 cloves of garlic, minced
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs (I used a garlic & herb mix)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (No fresh stuff? No worries, use the prepacked stuff)
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves-pounded thin (I didn't pound mine)

Preheat oven to 350*.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, cheeses, and spices.
Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 pan. Drizzle any remaining butter and top with remaining bread crumb mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.


Enjoy!
