Parmesan Chicken - Easy Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic

Mix together in a bowl:

  • 1 cup dried bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 TB chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • large pinch Italian seassoning (herb mix of basil, marjoram, oregano, thyme)
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Chicken - 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken mean, cut into pieces no larger than 2x2 inches

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels.(patting the chicken pieces dry will help the chicken pieces have crispy breading when baked)

  2. In a small bowl, stir the minced garlic into the melted butter.

  3.  Piece by piece, dip the chicken pieces into the garlic melted butter, and then dredge into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture to coat.

  4. Note that if your chicken pieces are cold, they may cause the melted butter to thicken, leaving too much butter sticking the chicken pieces. If you see this happening, just reheat the butter.

  5. Place coated chicken pieces on to a 9×13 (or larger) roasting dish. Try to leave a little room between each piece. (You may need to use more than one roasting pan.) Drizzle with remaining garlic butter.

  6. Bake uncovered at 450°F 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note that the chicken will get much more browned on the bottom side than on the top.
