Main Course -- Garlic Parmesan Chicken
6 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
One half cup butter
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup bread crumbs
Two thirds cup parmesan cheese
One third cup fresh chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter with garlic in a saucepan. Mix together bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Dip chicken breasts in butter and then coat in bread crumb mixture. Place in 13 x 9 baking dish and bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes.
The Skinny: We usually don’t substitute for butter but do so if you must.
