Parmesan Cheesy Chicken





2 T butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C bread crumbs (we used heals from our homemade bread)
1/2 C grated cheddar cheese, divided
2-4 T grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a blender, finely blend about 1-2 slices of day-old bread. When finely crumbed, add in Italian seasoning (we use salt-free), pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Prepare grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, and add about 1/4 C to the bread crumb mixture.Add cheddar cheese to the bread crumb mixture.Meanwhile, heat 2 T butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add in 2 garlic cloves, minced, and allow the garlic to cook as the butter melts. Dip the chicken into the butter/garlic mix, and then coat thoroughly with the bread crumb mix. [Lana says that you can freeze the chicken for later use at this point]. Place chicken in a large baking dish.Drizzle any remaining butter/garlic sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with any remaining crumbs. Frog Prince also topped the chicken with additional Parmesan cheese... (or so I learned through the photographic evidence). Bake chicken until juices run clear and internal temps reach 180; about 45-60 minutes.About 5 minutes before serving, remove chicken from the oven and add the remaining 1/4 C cheese to the top. Cook until cheese is melted.
