• Ready In: 45 mins
• Yields: 4 chickens

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup butter, melted
• 2  tablespoons  minced garlic (use 2 tablespoons for extreme flavor!)
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder (can use more)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste) or 1⁄2 teaspoon  white salt (or to taste)
• 1⁄2 cup  seasoned dry bread crumb (can use 3/4 cup)
• 1⁄2 cup  finely grated cheddar cheese
• 1⁄4 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts
•  shredded cheddar cheese (optional) or   shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Set oven to 350°F.
2. Butter an 11 x 7-inch pan (if using more than 4 breasts use a larger pan).
3. In a bowl, combine melted butter with fresh minced garlic, garlic powder and salt.
4. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese and coarse ground black pepper.
5. Dip chicken in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.
6. Place in prepared pan and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes (placing the chicken on a rack in a pan will produce an extra crispy crust).
7. **NOTE** for moist tender breasts cooking time should take no more than at the most 35 minutes unless they are very large then you might have to add on a couple extra minutes).
8. Top with shredded cheddar or mozzarella the last 5 minutes of cooking (this is only optional.).
9. **Note** Bake uncovered the full time for a crispier coating.
