Ingredients

  • 1- 1/2 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Dry Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cups Butter, Melted

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Prepare chicken breasts by cutting into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces or to your liking.
  • Remove any fat from chicken and pat chicken dry with paper towel.
  • Set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix together all ingredients, except butter, until well combined.
  • Put melted butter in a separate dish (preferably shallow for dipping).
  • Make an assembly line and begin by dipping chicken in the melted butter, then coating in bread crumb mixture.
  • Transfer chicken to a lightly-greased wire rack.
  • Continue with all chicken and sprinkle any remaining bread crumb mixture on prepared chicken pieces.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout.
  • Note: The wire rack helps cook the bread crumb mixture all around the chicken to a nice crisp, keeping it from getting soggy.
  • If a wire rack is not available, a cookie sheet can be used, turning the chicken half-way through cooking time.
