GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• The chicken breasts we used were large (3 chicken breasts = 2 1/3 pounds). If the chicken breasts you are using are also large cut them in half to get 6 pieces.
• Place the chicken breasts in a zippered bag. Use the side of a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness throughout so they cook evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9x13 pan and place it in the oven for the butter to melt while the oven heats.
• In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Place milk in another shallow bowl.
• Dip chicken in milk, then roll it in the crumb mixture.
• Place chicken in the baking dish with the melted butter.
• Combine the butter, garlic and lemon juice and drizzle over the chicken, then sprinkle on the paprika.
• Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Uncover the pan, turn the chicken and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. The baking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken, so be sure to check it to make sure it is thoroughly cooked. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
