Garlic Cheddar Chicken

I have a recipe from Marshall Fields that incorporates Parmesan and panko bread crumbs on chicken breasts.  It was one my nephew's favorites when he got into people food.  I don't think he will touch it with a 10 foot pole now!  LOL  This appears to be a similar dish...I may try this for my niece.  She seems to like anything put in front of her so I should be in good shape with this.  You can give a toddler garlic, right?

1/2 C. butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 C. dry bread crumbs
1/2 C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

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

In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper and salt.

Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then press into bread crumb mixture.  Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish  Drizzle any remaining butter and top with any remaining crumb mixture.

Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
