Susan's Chicken Parmasean

shared by Patty H. (This recipe is from a very good friend of mine. I took the liberty to adapt it a little when cooking for my "bunch." Easy, moist and tender!)

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Italian Progresso bread crumbs

½ c. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. pepper
6 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
½ to 1 stick butter

 Directions:

1. Combine bread crumbs, cheese, and pepper. 
2. Dip the chicken breasts in the melted butter and then in the bread crumbs, being careful to coat the breasts heavily. 
3. Place in dish uncovered and bake at 350 degrees until chicken is tender. (45 min. to 1 hr. depending on size of meat)

Here is my adaptation when preparing for the Hallam bunch:

1 ½ cups bread crumbs (I make my own by toasting the leftover heels and bread slices from the loaf and turning them into crumbs using the blender.)

½ cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. paprika
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 stick of butter, melted

1. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with no-stick spray.
2. Dump a 3 lb. pkg. of frozen chicken tenders in the pan (It’s OK if they overlap a little)
3. Pour the melted butter over the chicken tenders.
4. Sprinkle the crumb/seasoning mixture over the chicken.
5. Pop pan uncovered in a 350 degree oven and set the timer for 1 hour.
