Kitten’s Crispy Baked Garlic Chicken Breast

To avoid soggy bread crumbs start with about half of the breading mixture in the bowl and keep adding in more as needed for each breast, refrigerate any left over for the next time

Yield 4 chicken breasts/2-4 servings

Ingredients:

4 large boneless chicken breasts

1/2 cup melted butter (can use hard margarine)

1-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

BREADING:

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (can use regular dry breadcrumbs but the coating will not be as crispy)

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder (can use more garlic powder)

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional or adjust to taste

Instructions:———————————

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Set oven rack to lowest position.

Grease a small baking sheet.

In a shallow bowl combine melted butter with 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder.

In another bowl combine all breading ingredients (remove about half to another small bowl to add in as needed).

Dip the breast into the melted butter turning a few times to coat generously, then coat in the breading mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the coating to the breast (you may need to turn the chicken breast a few time to coat well).

Place on baking sheet.

Continue with remaining chicken adding in more breading to the bowl as needed to coat the chicken.

Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
