Crispy Baked Garlic Chicken
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, pressed in a garlic press
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Panko crumbs
1/2 cup cheddar cheese , finely grated
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders, about 8 tenders
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a metal rack with cooking spray and place on top a baking sheet.
In a bowl combine melted butter with fresh minced garlic, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and salt.
In another bowl combine the Panko crumbs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and pepper.
Place the chicken in butter and coat the pieces well. ย The cold chicken makes the butter harden slightly and helps it to adhere to the chicken. ย Dip each chicken tender in the bread crumb mixture.
Place chicken on prepared rack. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until just done. ย Don’t over cook.
