I found this recipe in my Home Cooking Magazine and decided to give it shot for tonight’s dinner. I just took it out of the oven and I’m still undecided as to how happy I am about the turn out. It is very juicy and very flavorful. I’m letting it rest and maybe when its time for dinner I’ll feel better about the dish. I did make a few minor adjustments. I added a 1/4 cup of italian seasoned bread crumb to the mix.
What you’ll need:
1 egg lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup instant potato flakes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1(4 -5 pound) chicken, cut up ( I used a half of a chicken)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Parsley flakes ( I used 2 tablespoon and I added mine to the mix)
Instructions :
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish.
- Mix Potato flakes, garlic salt and cheese in a bowl
- Dip chicken in egg mixture; coat with potato flakes mixture
- Melt butter and pour in a 13 x 19 inch baking pan or dish, then arrange chicken in pan.
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken tests done. Remove chicken from baking pan and place same side up on a heated platter.
- Sprinkle parsley over top of chicken.
Serves 4
PLEASE NOTE:I started baking the chicken at 350 then I lowered the oven to 325 and I baked it an additional 45 minutes. After 50 minutes it wasn’t golden enough for me. So my total cooking time was an 1 hr and 45 minutes. I think you should take into account the oven that you are using. It takes a few additional minutes to bake anything in my oven.
