Place milk in a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the next 5 ingredients ( through garlic powder) in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in milk, then coat in bread crumb mixture.

  2. I made this last night, and it was great! I even had to substitute cheddar for parmesan. Definitely yummy. Do you think that browning beforehand is necessary? I am always trying to use less pans and time....

    1. Not sure, Heather, about it being necessary to brown it beforehand. You could always try it without browning. The bread crumb mixture might stay on better that way too :)
