Wanna-be Fried Chicken

4 large boneless-skinless chicken breasts

In a separate bowl, mix:
2 cups bread crumbs/crushed crackers
1 tsp seasoned salt
3 TBS parmesan cheese
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Coat both sides of the chicken breast with the above ingredients. Place in greased 9x13 pan or baking sheet. Bake at 375* for 25 minutes, then turn pieces over and bake for another 20 minutes.

This was a college favorite. I think it's a combination of a couple recipes.

This is from a recipe-exchange at Enrichment. Seriously, SO GOOD!

Below is another version of the above recipe I found off a Real Whipped Whipping Topping container.

My college roommate Katrina loved to bake and would make these at Christmas time.

This was served at our ward Christmas dinner this past weekend. I asked Margaret Finlay for her recipe. This is what she said about it:
This recipe was served at Brad Finlay’s grandmother’s 90th birthday celebration. It is always a hit whenever I take it anywhere. (This recipe is from Helen Crump- Margaret's sister)
