GARLIC, HERB AND PARMESAN BAKED CHICKEN
Susan Maria's Before & After Help (Powered by Invision Power Board)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. crushed garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning (I used Penzeys)
1/4 cup whole wheat Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Combine crushed garlic, olive oil, and poultry seasoning in small pan and heat 1 minute,
until just warm. Trim all visible fat and membranes from chicken breasts, then make
small crosswise slits about 1/2 inch apart down the length of each chicken breast,
being careful not to cut too far into the chicken. (This helps the garlic and herb
flavor penetrate the chicken more.) Put chicken into zip loc bag, pour heated oil over,
and marinate all day in refrigerator.

To cook, take chicken out of refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for a
few minutes. Preheat oven to 425. Mix bread crumbs and parmesan and pulse a few times
in food processor if desired. Place cheese/breadcrumb mixture in flat dish and dip each
chicken breast into mixture, pressing on as much of the coating as you can. Place in
glass casserole dish which has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake 30-40 minutes,
until well browned and thoroughly cooked through.
