Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken

By ctaubenheim

Suggestion: Maybe add a little more oregano or even other herbs.
Pound breast thinner or butterfly for more flavor.
Would be good with pasta sauce drizzled over it.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375. Grease two large shallow baking pans; set aside. In a small bowl, combine egg product and milk. In a shallow dish, combine parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, paprika, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into egg product mixture; coat with crumb mixture. Arrange chicken pieces in prepared baking pans, making sure pieces don't touch. Drizzle chicken pieces with melted butter. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pin (170 degrees for breasts; 180 degree for thighs and drumsticks). 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). If desired, sprinkle with fresh oregano.
