Steps:
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with the olive oil.

GARLIC CHICKEN BAKED WITH CHEDDAR THYME CRUST
We found this recipe on the back of a Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese bag, the shredded variety. We loved it. It is a simple dish. We ate it with mashed potatoes, a salad and cooked carrots. But you can pair it with whatever yoiu like to please your family's own tastes. If you don't have TIllamook cheese in your area, just use your regular brand of cheese, medium variety. We like our chicken seared before baking so I lightly browned each side of the chicken before proceeding with the baking.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses: Try using a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella, to create a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture: Add some herbs, spices, and bread crumbs to the chicken before baking. This will help to create a crispy coating and add flavor.
- Bake the chicken on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet: This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and make cleanup easier.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken and prevent it from drying out.
