Let’s get right to it and talk about this crispy, crunchy and cheesy deliciousness that is this Cheesy Chicken recipe. I’ve been making this one for probably 25+ years and it’s one of our family’s favorites.

🍽️ MENU TIP: This cheesy chicken recipe is from week 5 of our 5 Ingredients or Less menu plans pack!
Ingredients for this cheesy chicken recipe:
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- butter or canola oil
- garlic
- Italian-style bread crumbs
- shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- grated Parmesan cheese
- salt
- pepper
How to make cheesy chicken breast:
In a small bowl, place 1 minced garlic clove into either 1/2 cup melted butter or canola oil. Let stand about 15-20 minutes to flavor the oil.
In a pie plate, mix bread crumbs, cheeses, salt and pepper together.
Dip chicken, one piece at a time, first in butter then in crumb mixture, turning to coat.
Oh this is going to be delicious!
In a large shallow baking dish, place chicken in a single layer with edges turned under to make a neat roll, pieces not touching.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake about 45 minutes or until a fork can be inserted into chicken with ease and chicken is browned and crispy.
Serve it up with some twice baked potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes from our Sides Dish Menu Plans and dinner is done.

I made this last night and my very picky family LOVED it! They ate every bite. I made the recipe as written except I sliced my chicken breast in half to make them thinner. – Crystal S.
