Baked Garlic Chicken and Glazed Carrots ~ By Victoria

Both of these recipes are definitely favorites of ours! The chicken recipe takes just 5 minutes to put together and the carrots are a nice side dish... although any side would go good with this chicken.  I had to improvise a little with the chicken recipe the night this picture was taken as we didn't have shredded parmesan or bread crumbs.... so I used grated parmesan and crumbled up Ritz crackers for the bread crumbs. :)

Baked Garlic Chicken

 

Ingredients: 6 chicken breasts
1/3 cup California Olive Ranch olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9x13" baking pan with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up) and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and garlic. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese and the Italian seasoning.

Dip each chicken breast first in the olive oil and then in the bread crumb mixture. Place breaded chicken on the pan and top with additional shredded Parmesan cheese (optional). Cook chicken for 35-40 minutes (or until chicken is completely cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees).
