Baked Parmesan Chicken

Submitted by IngridH

"This is modified from a recipe on the menus4moms website. It's simple to prepare, and the crunchy topping gives it great texture. I serve it on a bed of spinach fettucini for a pretty presentation. I used bone-in, skin-on thighs, but you could really use whatever pieces you have on hand, or that your family prefers. If using boneless pieces, you will need to cook for less time."

My family loved this. I made enough to bring to work the next day and everyone wanted a taste. We will definitely have this again!!<br/><br/>Thanks

Delicious! I didn't have Italian breadcrumbs so I used panko with a whack of home made italian seasoning. I likely went a bit heavy on the butter but I'm like that. ;) I had read the reviews so adjusted my seasonings accordingly. It was too hot to get the big oven going so I made these with boneless, skinless thighs in the toaster/convection oven. It took 30 minutes to get to 165 degrees and another 3 minutes to broil for a touch more colour.<br/>Made for Food.Commandos ~ ZWT 7

We enjoyed this chicken recipe. It was really simple to put together and very tasty and moist. Made for ZWT 7 for the Vivacious Violets.

Good go to recipe for a quick weeknight meal without a lot of fuss. I did use boneless chicken breasts that I pounded out flat so cooking time was reduced. Served over whole wheat fettuccine noodles. Since my breadcrumbs were unseasoned I used a really big dose of a Garlic Pepper Grinder and then added some Italian seasonings mix to the crumbs to get a good tang to them. Served it to 3 teens and me and it was gobbled up! Made for your win in Tic Tac Toe Event 2011.

I used boneless chicken breasts. It took a lot longer than stated, but that's because of my oven, not the recipe. I had a little of the butter left over and poured it over the top. It was very good, nice and moist, very flavorful. Thanks for posting!
