Garlic Cheddar Chicken is so easy and doesn't everyone love garlic butter, cheese and some spices with chicken? Fast and fabulous!
This Garlic Cheddar Chicken is so delicious! I was shocked the first time I was told you could dip chicken in garlic butter and then I never imagined it could taste this good.
You can grate extra cheddar and mix it into the breadcrumb mixture and some will love this chicken dish more, I do! I don't do it every time I make this, but I try to as often as I can! It's a terrible thing to say but I definitely cannot get enough cheese it seems on anything!
You can also substitute oregano or basil instead of the Italian seasoning and this recipe turns out great every time! I tend to use whichever one I find first. They all taste great!
Sometimes I just buy a stick of melted butter just to save some time! No matter which way you do it this chicken is a fabulous and easy dinner idea. I know you will make this Garlic Cheddar Chicken again and again, just like I do!
