Ingredients

1. 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, trimmed
2. 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Fresh is better but use pregrated if necessary)
3. 2 teaspoons paprika
4. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
6. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
7. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
8. 2 eggs, beaten
9. 1/4 cup butter, melted

4. Mix flour, parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a second bowl.
5. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and brush the rack with oil.
6. Dip chicken, 1 breast at a time, in egg mixture, then in parmesan/paprika mixture,
7. turning to evenly coat both sides of each breast with each ingredient.
8. Place on prepared baking sheet, in a single layer.
9. Pour the melted butter evenly over the chicken.
10. Bake for about 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese has browned, and the chicken has cooked.
