Oven Fried Chicken Parmesan

From the kitchen of Judy Wilson

1 garlic clove
1/4 pound butter, melted
1 cup soft white bread crumbs
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 pounds chicken pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Crush the garlic clove and combine with 2/3 cup melted butter in a shallow baking dish.

In another dish combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. First dip the chicken into the butter and then coat it in the bread crumb mixture.

Arrange the chicken 1 layer deep in a greased large, shallow baking pan and drizzle evenly with remaining melted butter. Bake uncovered, 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until fork tender and browned.
