Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, parsley, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
3. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Spread the garlic and cheddar mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, pressing it down slightly to adhere.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure moist and tender meat.
7. Serve the garlic cheddar chicken with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
