Savory oven baked chicken

I originally started this blog as a way to organize my favorite recipes and be able to exchange them with my mom a little easier. However, I have been a huge slacker and pretty much forgot about this blog unless I needed a copy of a recipe. Then I lost one of my favorites that I got from my MIL. It was the only copy I had and I make this one ALL the time! Luckily I had emailed it to my mom so I dug around my sent mail until I found it. That got my tail in gear! I will probably post a ton of recipes over the next few weeks because I want to get them all down to prevent this close call with disaster from happening again!

Savory Oven Baked Chicken

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I usually use 2-3 and cut them in half so they aren't as thick and will cook faster)

2 T finely chopped parsley, basil or oregano

1/2 t salt

1/4 t pepper

1/2 C dried bread crumbs

2 t finely chopped or pressed garlic (I usually do 2-4 cloves, but I really like garlic)

1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 C butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375

Combine bread crumbs, parmesan, parsley, pepper, and salt in shallow bowl.

Combine butter and garlic in pie plate ( I usually put the pie plate in the oven while its preheating until melted)

Dip one breast at a time into butter mixture; then crumbs mixture, turning to coat evenly.

Place chicken in un-greased 9X13 pan. Drizzle with any remaining butter mixture.

Bake 25-35  minutes, or until chicken is lightly browned and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
