Parmesan Chicken - KOAM TV 7

Parmesan Chicken

1 Cup Dry Italian Bread Crumbs
1/3 Cup grated Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp. dried oregano
¼ tsp. pepper
Salt to taste
1 clove minced garlic
¾ cup melted butter, divided
3 or 4 lb. chicken, cut up  OR 3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts

• (I used chicken breasts, and cut each breast into 2 or 3 pieces –depending on the size of the breast.)
  
• In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, pepper and salt, set aside.
  
• In sauté pan, lightly sauté garlic and salt in 2 Tbsp. butter.  When garlic has been sautéed, put in rest of melted butter.
  
• Dip chicken pieces in garlic butter.  Roll each in crumb mixture.
  
• Spray 13x9x2 baking pan with non-stick spray.
  
• Place chicken in 13X9X2 baking pan.
  
• Sprinkle remaining crumbs over chicken.
  
• Pour on remaining butter.
  
• Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until golden.
  

I covered my chicken for the first 30 minutes, then removed the foil for the last half of cooking.)I doubled the recipe.  With the leftover chicken – I cooked yellow rice.  Then I added a can of chicken broth.  I cut up the leftover chicken and put it in the rice.  I also added sautéed onions and
cooked green beans to the rice.  It made a great one-dish meal.
