This recipe is an instant and delicious one- perfect for a busy weeknight. I used Panko bread crumbs for this to make it more crunchy - you may use regular bread crumbs instead if Panko is unavailable. Panko is a variety of flaky bread crumb used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried food.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2-3 tablespoon mixed Italian seasoning
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 chicken breast cleaned and cut in even sized cubes
- 1/4 cup Italian dressing
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese grated ( you can use parmesan cheese as well)
- 4-5 tablespoons olive oil for basting
- Any Italian fresh herb for garnish
Method:
- Wash chicken thoroughly. Prick chicken pieces with fork and marinate it in Italian dressing for an hour in the fridge.
- Combine Panko bread crumbs, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a plastic zip lock bag and shake to mix.
- Place one piece of marinated chicken in bag, and shake to coat. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken.
- Place in a lightly greased oven proof pan.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (approx 205 degrees Celsius) for 15 minutes.
- Brush chicken with olive oil and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until done.
- Garnish with herb and serve hot right out of the oven -enjoy !
