Moist Cheddar-Garlic Baked Chicken Breast

[POORBOY]

1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons minced garlic (use 2 tablespoons for extreme flavor!)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (can use more)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste, or use white salt)
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs (can use 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
grated cheddar cheese, for top (use any amount desired, can use mozzarella cheese)

1. Set oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter an 11 x 7-inch pan (for 4 breasts, use a larger pan for more breasts).
3. In a bowl, combine butter, fresh garlic, garlic powder and salt.
4. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheddar and Parmesan cheese and pepper.
5. Dip chicken in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.
6. Place in prepared pan and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until juices run clear (or bake covered for 15 minutes and uncover for the remainder of the cooking time).
7. Top with shredded cheese the last 5 minutes of cooking (this is only optional).
8. Delicious!

Made as directed.
Not Bad.
