Description

Grandma's chicken chardon recipe is for delicious chicken coated in bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. It is so easy but your guests will never know it.

Ingredients

1 egg
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Beat egg with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese in a separate shallow bowl. Set aside.
3 Combine melted butter and lemon juice in a bowl; pour about 2/3 into bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, tilting dish to completely coat. Spread mushrooms in an even layer in the dish. Dip chicken breasts into egg mixture, lifting up so excess drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides; place on top of mushrooms. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over chicken breasts; sprinkle with parsley.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear, about 45 minutes.
