• In a bowl, combine melted butter with fresh minced garlic, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and salt.
• In another bowl, combine the dry breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon garlic powder and coarse ground black pepper.
• Dip chicken in butter mixture; then in crumb mixture.
• Place in prepared pan and bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until cooked through, larger breasts may take more time (placing the chicken on a rack in a pan will produce an extra crispy crust).
