Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons of butter
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3/4 cup Panko crumbs plus extra for cookie sheet
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pound chicken breasts thin - 1/2" or so.
- Cover a cookie sheet with tinfoil. Spread a small amount of the extra Panko crumbs on the tinfoil (this will prevent the chicken breasts from getting too soggy).
- Place butter and chopped garlic in a shallow, microwavable dish (a glass pie plate works well). Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
- In another shallow dish mix the Panko, Parmesan, Cheddar, Italian Seasoning and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter, then press into the Panko mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
- Bake 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches a temperature of 165 degrees.
