PARMESAN BUTTER AND HERB CHICKEN

This was so easy and my kids really liked it!


INGREDIENTS

6 frozen chicken breasts
Butter Spray  (Parkay or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
2 Tbsp. Parsley
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. basil

DIRECTIONS

Place frozen chicken breasts in a glass 9x13 baking dish sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.  Turn oven to 375 degrees.  Place dish with chicken in oven so it warms gradually.  Bake for about 40 minutes.  Take pan out of oven.  Remove chicken and place on a plate.  Drain the "juice" from the dish.  Return chicken to the baking dish.  Spray the top of breasts genrously with butter spray.  Use a spoon to spread if you need it to even out.  Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on the chicken (I estimated amount, as I just shake it right out of the Parmesan container).  Mix remaining herbs together and sprinkle over the chicken.  Return to the oven and bake until chicken is cooked through - use a meat thermometer if you are not sure.  Mine usually takes another 15 minutes.  You may use this recipe with thawed chicken also.........just skip the juice removal and adjust baking time (about 30 min for baking and then additional 15 minutes).
