Recipe of the Week - Garlic Cheddar Chicken

Guess where I got this one? If you said "The Nest" - you're right. The girls have been raving about this one for ages and I don't know why I haven't tried it before. It was simple & quick and tasted great. As an added bonus, there weren't many dishes to clean up. I actually washed up all the prep stuff while the chicken was baking. Alec was very happy about that. (He hates dishes, but I make him help anyway. I'm such a mean wife.)

Garlic Cheddar Chicken
from Nestie catlawdy

Ingredients
1/2 c. butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c. dry breadcrumbs
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded thin.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
3. In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese & spices.
4. Dip each chicken bread in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining breadcrumb mixture.
6. Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

I eyeballed the amounts for the breadcrumb mixture. The coating was kind of soggy on the bottom after baking. I think next time, I may coat the chicken with the garlic butter, but only sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top.

I forgot to take pictures. I know y'all are disappointed.
