CRISPY PARMESEAN CHICKEN

 

5 large chicken breasts

1 T minced garlic (I used the bottled variety)

1/3 C olive oil

3/4 t poultry seasoning

3/4 C panko bread crumbs 

3/4 C Parmesan cheese

1. Pour 1 T garlic, 1/3 C olive oil and 3/4 t poultry seasoning into a small sauce pan. Warm it over medium heat for 1 minute. 

 2. With a sharp pair of kitchen scissors cut each chicken breast in half. Then, with a sharp knife barely cut a couple of long slits in the top of each chicken piece to help marinate to soak through.

 3. Put your chicken into a ziplock bag and pour the warm marinate over the top.

Seal the bag and place in fridge for at least 4 hours.

Preheat your oven to 425.  

6. Pour 3/4 C panko bread crumbs and 3/4 C Parmesan cheese into a loaf pan.Mix well.

7. Dip each piece of chicken into the cheese and bread crumb mixture and press in the chicken with your fingers. 

8. Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. 

9. Bake your chicken for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. Can serve with your favorite Marinara.
