Garlic Chicken

I was at a loss as to what I should make for dinner last night, and being on a tight budget, I had to use what was on hand.  This simple recipe only calls for a few ingredients, so it's a great weeknight meal to use.  I've found it makes a great chicken to use with pasta dishes, too!  Thanks to Carol over at Allrecipes.com for the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp crushed garlic (about 5 cloves)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (the crumbly kind you get in from the green can)
• 4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions:

1. Heat your oven to 425º F (220º C)
2. Warm the garlic and olive oil in a pan until warm, in order to mesh the flavors together
3. In a separate dish, combine the bread crumbs and parmesan.
4. Dip the chicken into the garlic/oil mixture, then dip both sides of the chicken into the bread crumb mixture so it is completely covered.
5. Place in a shallow baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
