Oven-Fried Parmesan Chicken

 The crunchy cheese crust makes the chicken especially crisp and flavorful in this baked chicken dinner recipe.

Ingredients

    1 beaten egg
    3 tablespoons milk
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
    1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    2 - 2 1/2 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breasts, thighs, and drumsticks)
    2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
 

Directions

1. Combine egg and milk in a small bowl. Combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, paprika, and pepper in a shallow dish.
2. Skin chicken if desired. Dip chicken pieces into egg mixture; coat with crumb mixture. Arrange chicken pieces in a greased 15x10x2-inch baking pan so pieces don't touch. Drizzle chicken pieces with the melted margarine or butter.
3. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Do not turn chicken pieces during baking. Immediately transfer chicken to a covered container; serve within 1 hour. Or cover and chill chicken; transport in an insulated container with ice packs. Makes 6 servings.
