1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

1 cup Italian bread crumbs

salt & pepper (to taste)

4 chicken breast halves boneless, skinless

1/2 cup melted butter

Paprika

Combine Parmesan cheese with breadcrumbs and salt & pepper on a plate or in a shallow dish, set aside.

Season each chicken breast with a little sprinkle of salt (to taste) and dip in melted butter. Roll in crumb mixture until completely coated.

Place in baking dish and sprinkle generously with paprika.

Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes @ 375 degrees – Do not overcook!

Notes

Panko bread crumbs with a few teaspoons of Italian seasoning can be used in place of the Italian bread crumbs.

If chicken breast thicknesses are uneven, or over an inch thick, cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet or rolling pin to reach 1-inch thickness.
