Parmesan Cheese

Chicken with Parmesan & Bacon

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

My favorite meals tend to be those that I just throw together. Like this chicken with Parmesan & bacon. Delicious! It is super easy to make any day of the week, even busy weekdays.

This meal has become a huge favorite with everyone in our family, I have to make double the amount of chicken that I normally make for anything else and it still doesn’t seem to be enough.

My favorite thing is you don’t have to measure, just sprinkle one ingredient over the other and bake. Make it to your family’s taste.

What you need:

  • Parmesan cheese
  • ranch dressing
  • bread crumbs
  • garlic powder – easier than grating or chopping garlic cloves
  • bacon bits
  • boneless, skinless chicken breasts

How to make Chicken with Parmesan & Bacon

Grab some chicken breasts and a casserole dish. Also grab some ranch, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, bacon bits, and of course Parmesan.

Chicken Parmesan & Bacon

You’re going to start with placing your chicken breast in your casserole dish. Spread some ranch over the top of them, sprinkle garlic powder over the top of the ranch, add it to your taste.

Sprinkle the bread crumbs over top, using about half a cup. Toss some bacon bits over the chicken, and sprinkle or grate some Parmesan cheese over all of it.

Cover for half of the cooking time to prevent the bread crumbs and bacon from burning. Bake at 425, for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear.

Use a good size spoon to scoop out each piece of chicken, trying not to lose any of the toppings. Serve with some vegetables of choice, our choice was baked potatoes. YUM! Plus I then had less clean up than cooking on a stove top.

This Chicken with Parmesan & Bacon is so good that we’ve had twice in two weeks, and we’re not fans of repeat meals in the same month let alone back to back weeks.

Mustard Crusted Chicken

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

There are so many different ways to cook chicken, which is probably one of the reasons that we eat so much of it. I get tired of trying to find ways to cook ground beef – I don’t care of the taste of it and can’t stand the greasy taste and feeling it has. Chicken is lean and juicy. This mustard chicken is juicy, crispy, and full of flavor.

What I used for making this recipe was really simple, it was what as in my fridge.

This cheese is my Hubby’s favorite. Parmesan, Romano, Asiago. We can’t find it everywhere, and it is a bit on the expensive side as far as cheese goes, but it is really good.

This sweet onion mustard is extremely good, but like the cheese we can’t find it everywhere. We have to go to Co-Op to get it.

Start with some thawed, patted dry chicken breast. One per person, or more, it’s up to you. Make sure to pat the chicken dry, it makes it much easier for the next steps.

On your patted dry chicken, spread some mustard over your chicken. I made sure that there was a thicken coat over the top of my chicken breast. A pastry brush works great for this.

ChickenIn a shallow bowl I mixed about a 1/4 cup of the cheese with about 3/4 to 1 cup of bread crumbs. I also added a little shredded mozzarella because it was in the fridge already shredded, a little left over from taco night. You can definitely do without it.

Now, mustard side down, place your chicken in the bread crumbs. To get a good coat, I press down on the chicken, wiggle it around a bit.

Chicken in Crumb

I bake my chicken on a cooling rack, on a baking sheet. You don’t have to worry about flipping your chicken, it cooks evenly all over. For easy clean up line your baking sheet with fin foil.

Bake at 400 for 25 minutes or until your chicken is done.

Mustard Crusted ChickenThat looks so good! It has cheese which is always a big hit here. The topping is crispy and delicious. These would also make good chicken strips. Even more enticing for children.

Yield: 5
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • sweet onion mustard
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup to 1 cup fine bread crumbs, depending on how much chicken you have

Instructions

  1. Make sure you have patted your chicken dry. Then cover the top of it with your mustard. The mustard will stick better to dry chicken.
  2. Mix your cheese and bread crumbs in a low sided dish.
  3. Place mustard side down into the crumb mix. Push it down, wiggle it a bit to give your chicken a good coating.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes at 400, or until chicken is cooked.
