Kittencal's Moist Cheddar-Garlic Oven-Fried Chicken Breast

Recipe #82102 | 1 hour | 20 min prep | add private note

This is for serious garlic lovers and the chicken bakes out so moist and tender! grated cheese may be sprinkled on top of the breast the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired but that is only optional, double all ingredients for more than four breasts and adjust the amount of garlic to suit taste, for the coating amount you might be able to get away with 5 or maybe 6 very small chicken breasts, but I would suggest to increase the amount slightly --- to take this dish to yet another level about 10 minutes before the cooking time is finished drizzle the top of the chicken with a little pasta sauce then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, return to oven for about 10 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked and sauce is hot and cheese has melted --- for a lemon-garlic flavor add in 3 tablespoons lemon juice to the melted butter/garlic mixture --- I usually serve this chicken with my Kittencal's Famous Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes --- for a healthier alternative Smart Balance Butter Blend may be used in place of the melted butter --- you will LOVE this chicken!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Set oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Butter an 11 x 7-inch pan (if using more than 4 breasts use a larger pan).
  3. 3
    In a bowl, combine melted butter with fresh minced garlic, garlic powder and salt.
  4. 4
    In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese and coarse ground black pepper.
  5. 5
    Dip chicken in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.
  6. 6
    Place in prepared pan and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes (placing the chicken on a rack in a pan will produce an extra crispy crust).
  7. 7
    **NOTE** for moist tender breasts cooking time should take no more than at the most 35 minutes unless they are very large then you might have to add on a couple extra minutes).
  8. 8
    Top with shredded cheddar or mozzarella the last 5 minutes of cooking (this is only optional).
  9. 9
    Delicious!

Very yummy and juicy. The only thing is, I can't see how full breasts would cook up in 35 minutes cause it took about an hour for my three full breasts to reach 160 degrees all the way through. It was super duper juicy though and received thumbs up from picky boyfriend who ate so much he couldn't move for the rest of the night! lol. I will make it again.

    Fantastic recipe! The chicken was wonderfully juicy and garlicky. It was a real hit in our home! My only small criticism is that the breadcrumb mixture seems too little for 6 chicken breasts. That amount covered just one extra large breast for me - albeit generously. I took the advice of others and uncovered the chicken for the last 10 minutes to crisp it up. Thanks for this one, I'll be making it often!

    Very garlicky! Very moist! Very tasty! I used a chopper to finely chop the already-grated cheddar to make sure the cheddar cheese was well-incorporated into the coating. I used the full amount of fresh garlic, and finely minced that as well. Definitely a keeper!
