KITTENCAL'S MOIST CHEDDAR-GARLIC OVEN FRIED CHICKEN BREAST
This is for serious garlic lovers. 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 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 --- *NOTE* for a healthier alternative Smart Balance Butter Blend may be used in place of the melted butter --- you will love this chicken!

- To make the chicken extra crispy, coat it in a breadcrumb mixture before baking. You can use store-bought breadcrumbs or make your own by crushing up crackers or cornflakes.
- If you don't have an oven-safe baking dish, you can use a regular baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Just make sure to poke a few holes in the foil so the chicken can breathe.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
