Lara's Parmensan Cheese Baked Chicken

Over the past couple of years, I have worked hard on creating and improving this recipe. This isn't exact recipe but it's closest thing to the best ever baked chicken.





1 lb chicken breast


1 c of seasoned bread crumbs


1/2 c mayo


1/4 c parmensan cheese, grated


butter





Pound chicken breast until thin but not too thin. I mixed mayo and cheese together. Spread mayo/cheese on one side of the chicken breast and place it faced down onto of the bread crumbs. Now, spread the mayo on the other side of the chicken that's face up towards you. Flip the chicken over and make sure to coat both sides of the chicken. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Place one 1 tbps of butter on top of each chicken breast. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes!



Seriously, the moists chicken ever!!!!! The meat was so tender and yummy plus it wasn't over cooked!

Frozen Cookie Dough Cookies

Frozen Cookie Dough Cookies


1 Cup Butter

1 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 or 2 TPBS Water

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. baking soda

2 Cups Flour

1 bag of chocolate chips


Directions: In a large bowl, first cream your sugars and butter. The mix in your other ingredients, stirring in the chocolate chips last. If your dough is looking a little dry and crumbly, add more water, a few drops at a time, until you get a nice, workable dough.Roll your dough into small balls and put them on a cookie sheet. We were able to make 56 balls, though we probably could have had more but there was quite a bit of sampling going on... Pop them in the freezer until you can't wait any more, then pop them in your mouth!


You can leave them plain, if you like, but we think a little more chocolate makes everything better. We decided to dip our frozen balls of doughy goodness into meted chocolate. Heavenly!
