Let's just say I have never been a fan of chicken breasts. I have pretty much avoided them like the plague because they always tasted like cardboard to me. However, since I cook all the time I needed some variety for my family. I've been trying to get away from beef, so I started looking for new recipes. Well, I found one that comes out so deliciously moist, it's unbelievable! And don't you just love garlic? I can't get enough of it, lol. Everyone cleans their plate on garlic cheddar chicken night, and hubby is usually in the fridge eating any leftovers before bedtime It's so easy to make -- just throw it in the oven and come back in 40 minutes and it's perfect every time. I found it on some recipe website, but I made it a bit more healthier.
GARLIC CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS
Ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tbs garlic powder
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbs minced garlic
1 cup bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
4-6 chicken breasts
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a baking pan or casserole dish for chicken. Mix one bowl of olive oil, 1 tbs garlic powder, seasoning salt and minced garlic. Mix another bowl of bread crumbs (I always use crackers), 1 tbs garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and 2/3 of the cheddar cheese. Dip thawed chicken into olive oil mixture then bread crumb mixture and place evenly into pan. After you've coated all the chicken, then take the leftovers from both bowls and drizzle over all the chicken. Five minutes before you take the chicken out, sprinkle the rest of the cheese onto the chicken. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
