Crispy Cheese-Baked Chicken is one of those easy recipes that you can pull together in a matter of minutes. This
chicken recipe uses a simple combination of bread crumbs, seasonings and freshly chopped parsley, along with some shredded cheese (the recipe calls for cheddar, but you can use any other type of cheese you prefer, such as swiss, pepper jack, Parmesan, etc. The chicken is dipped in melted butter, then coated with the bread crumb and cheese mixture. Any remaining melted butter is drizzled over the top, and the chicken is popped into the oven. After about an hour of baking, you've got a crispy, cheesy chicken dish that all ages will enjoy. You can use pieces of chicken cut from a whole fryer, or cut two boneless, skinless chicken breasts into serving-size portions. For a fun twist, you can cut the chicken into smaller pieces to create chicken strips or nuggets. However you prepare this dish, this chicken dish will be a hit!
