lots of favorite recipes.


But here are three 
that you might like...?

Parmesan Chicken Breasts


1.5 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup of fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 stick of butter, melted
1 1/4 cups of bread crumbs, plain
Salt and pepper to taste


Separate the chicken breasts and
flatten each slightly with a meat tenderizer. 
Put melted butter in a large bowl.
In another large bowl, mix cheese, 
bread crumbs and 
salt and pepper to taste.


Take each chicken breast and drench it
in the melted butter, and then coat  
with the bread crumb/cheese mixture.


Place each piece in a 
buttered casserole dish
& bake at 350 degrees 
for 25-30 minutes
or until golden brown.


(Kids especially love this dish.
This is my go-to recipe when making
dinner for a friend's family.)
