It's a Keeper!!

One thing that I love to do for my family is to cook a nice Sunday meal.  I don't do it often - frequent Sunday morning openings at work prevent that - but when I do, I want it to be nice.  Today I tried a new recipe.  It's very simple!  I didn't even prep anything before Meeting!  Even better!!  I hope you like it!  I served it with pesto pasta, oven-roasted asparagus and red pepper and garlic bread.. YUM!

Garlic Lover's Chicken
from Taste of Home's Quick Cooking

½ c.   dry bread crumbs
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs. minced fresh parsley
½ tsp. salt, optional
1/8 tsp. pepper
¼ c. milk
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
¼ c. butter, melted
1-2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 Tbs. lemon juice
paprika

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine first five ingredients.  Place milk in a shallow bowl.  Dip chicken in milk, then shake in the crumb mixture.  Place in a greased 13x9x2" baking dish.  Combine the butter, garlic and lemon juice; drizzle over the chicken.  Sprinkle with paprika.  Bake, uncovered, at 350º for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear.

I used Italian bread crumbs and omitted the fresh parsley.  I also, per hubby's standing request, pounded the chicken breasts flat.  For the 3 of us I used 2 breast halves and ALL of the crumbs and butter mixture!  DELICIOUS!!!
