Cheese Delight Chicken

This is another recipe from Joanna's and my childhood. It was a favorite of mine because after it was cooked and eaten, the spilled coating in the bottom of the dish could be scooped out with a fork and eaten as a cheesy crunchy treat! Mom and I would partake without fail. I don't recall Joanna or Dad being very interested in our greasy little piece of heaven.

Ingredients
Boneless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic
1/2 c. oil
1 c. bread crumbs
1/2 c. finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt

Steps
  1. Add garlic to oil and let stand for 20 mins.
  2. Preheat oven to 350
  3. Remove garlic from oil.
  4. Mix bread crumbs, cheeses, pepper and salt.
  5. Dip chicken in oil, then crumb mixture. Place in a large shallow baking pan: tucking sides under to form meat roll.
  6. Pour remaining oil over chicken pieces.
  7. Bake uncovered for about 45 mins or until done.
