Garlic Cheddar Chicken



Chicken breasts dipped in garlic butter and cheddar bread crumbs. Makes 8 servings



  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • In a shallow bowl mix the breads crumbs (or stuffing mix), Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper and salt.

  • Melt the butter in a 12 inch Dutch Oven over low heat and cook the garlic until it is tender, around 5 minutes. Pour off into a dipping bowl.

  • Dip each chicken breast into the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture.

  • Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the 12 inch Dutch Oven.
