Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients
4 (6-7 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9x12 casserole dish (or similar 3-quart casserole dish) with cooking spray and set aside.
In a low, shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and both cheeses.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. (Or microwave it in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, until melted.) Add the onion powder and garlic powder and mix well. Transfer to a second low, shallow dish.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dip each chicken breast in the butter mixture to coat all sides then press into the cheesy breadcrumb mixture. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared pan.
Sprinkle some of the extra breadcrumbs over the chicken and press down to help it adhere. Drizzle some of the extra butter mixture over top of the chicken.
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. (It will depend on the size of your chicken breasts. I recommend using a digital thermometer.)
Serve hot and enjoy!
