My family has gone crazy about these cheddar and garlic, oven-fried chicken breasts – and I can completely understand why. They are super delicious!
We really love garlic so that’s probably one of the things that made this recipe such a hit at our house. I love serving these with jasmine rice, or sometimes simply with steamed veggies, if I want to make a lighter dinner. Either way we never have any leftovers!
Ingredients
1⁄3 cup Land O’ Lakes butter, melted
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons McCormick garlic powder, divided
1⁄2 teaspoon seasoning salt
3⁄4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1⁄2 cup finely grated Kraft cheddar cheese
1⁄4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
shredded cheddar cheese (optional, use any amount desired)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease an 11 x 7-inch pan.
In a bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the dry breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon garlic powder and coarse ground black pepper.
Dip chicken breasts first in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.
Place in prepared pan and bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until cooked through, larger breasts may take more time (placing the chicken on a rack in a pan will produce an extra crispy crust).
Top with shredded cheddar or mozzarella the last 5 minutes of cooking (this is only optional.

Quick tip: If you’re using large chicken breasts, slice them in half to make sure they cook evenly.
