- 2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic

- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup fresh ground Parmesan
- 3/4 teaspoon thyme (important)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in a baking dish, and place the baking dish in the oven.
- Melt the butter in a baking dish. Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice. and mix it well.
- Mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan in a large bag. Shake the chicken in it to coat. Save the extra crumbs.
- Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice to the melted butter. Mix it well.
- Lightly lay each breast on it's front to get moist then flip over in the pan. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs to re-coat. Shake some lemon pepper on top.
- Bake 40 minutes at 400 degrees. Spoon some of the left over liquid over the cooked chicken, and over your accompanying side dish. I prefer a type of rice, like pilaf or brown. The smell and the flavor will knock you down.
