Opposites & Garlic Cheddar Chicken

It's interesting to me how two people so much alike

can be so very different at the same time.

My twins are this way.

They are the same in many ways, with similar tastes and favorite activities.

But there are plenty of things that make them unique, one of a kind.

Exhibit A: Eating Spaghetti

B uses his spoon and is reasonably clean afterward.

F refuses to use his spoon for this meal. Instead he uses his hand and wipes sauce all over his face after each bite. lol

Let's get a closer look at this messy face.

Sorry for the slightly blurry part, it seems as if they're in constant motion.

I recently tried a new chicken recipe that I feel is praise worthy.

Being the chicken eating family we are, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes that are easy, healthy and delicious. I originally found the recipe at Cook written by Just Make Stuff.

It's super yummy! Try it, I know you'll love it too.

Garlic Cheddar Chicken

my version

Ingredients:

1/4 c. butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 c. bread crumbs, dried or you can use crumbled toast

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

3/4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.

3. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

4. Dip each chicken breast in melted garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken in a baking dish. Drizzle with remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.

5. Bake for about 40- 45 minutes in preheated oven or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 160 degrees).

Enjoy!
