Kicked Up Parmesan Chicken

Kicked Up Parmesan Chicken

Serves 5

Bake at 375

1 pan (9x13)

3 whole skinless chicken breasts each cut in half

2 eggs

½ c. milk

½ c. flour

1 tsp. paprika or dried chipotle powder if you like the heat

¼ tsp. garlic powder

½ c. Parmesan cheese grated finely

¼ c. mozzarella cheese grated finely

¼ tsp. kosher salt

¼ tsp. fresh ground black pepper

6 Tbs. butter

Directions: In one dredging bowl, mix eggs and milk. In a second dredging bowl, mix together flour, spices and cheeses. Dip each chicken half in the egg mixture and then in the flour mixture. Be sure to cover the chicken completely (you can double dredge if you desire). Place chicken in baking pan and top each chicken with a Tbs. of butter. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes. They will be crunchy brown on the outside and juicy on the inside. I would recommend letting them sit for 5 minutes before serving. They are very hot!

*I served this with brown rice and broccoli. You prepare the rice according to directions. When the water starts to boil add a bag of frozen broccoli or one head of fresh broccoli cut up and finish with 2 Tbs. of butter, salt and pepper before serving.
