Parmesan Garlic Chicken

Good Seasons Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken

I don't know what it is about me and chicken, but I just can't seem to stay away from it. We used to eat chicken all the time when I was younger, so now I'm not really a fan of it. I get a hankering for fried chicken or chicken wings every now and then. My family ate chicken so much when I was younger, I'd be fine if I never ate chicken again ate chicken less frequently than I do!

I got this recipe off of the Italian dressing packet I used for my last recipe post. I had some chicken thighs left over and I had all of the ingredients in my pantry, so I figured why not give it a try?!

Ingredients

5 chicken thighs
(or small chicken breasts)

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 packet of Italian dressing mix

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Mix the cheese, garlic powder, and dressing mix in a bowl and pour into a large Ziploc bag.

3. Clean and rinse the chicken off, leaving the chicken a little moist.

4. Coat the chicken with the cheese mixture. (I dropped the chicken into the Ziploc bag and shook it.)

5. Place the chicken on a baking sheet.

6. Coat the chicken with the remainder of the cheese mixture.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

8. After the chicken is done, broil for a minute or two to give the chicken a golden brown color.

And there you have it!! Another easy recipe that's a lot quicker than the last recipe I shared! When I tell you this chicken was better than expected, I mean it! I didn't particularly like reheating this meal because the cheese melted as it was reheated. I don't like melted cheese. I prefer my cheese grated or shredded. If you like melted cheese, then you'll really enjoy the leftovers (if you have any)!!

I usually cook chicken during the week to break up all the beef and fish I cook. I invest so much time into trying to spice the chicken up because I don't like eating it otherwise. I need to try recipes for beef (which I eat the most) or pork (which I eat the least). I also need to get more used to using that crockpot, but that's another topic for another time!

Try this recipe too and let me know what you think about it!
