Heat oven to 375.Grease or line with foil and grease 15x10x1-inch pan or 3x9-inch pan. In medium bowl,combine potato flakes,Parmesan cheese and garlic salt; stir until well mixed,dip chicken pieces into margarine;roll in potato flake mixture to coat . Place in greased pan. Bake at 375 for 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear. This is really a good recipe I got it off of a box of Idaho Spuds mash potato box. I never eat fried chicken the old way anymore my family loves it and if you try this recipe I hope you and your family will enjoy it also. Good Luck with this recipe !
make it into a casserole...cream of mushroom soup, carrots, broccoli, and mozzarella cheese and then bake it for about 4o minutes, delicious!!
spice up some chicken and throw it on a grill or broiler with a nice side of veggie salad.
Salsa Chicken! Just put chix breasts covered in salsa ( I prefer hot) in oven for 45 minutes on 375! About 10 minutes before they are done, cover with parmesan cheese! Really yummy...Serve with garlic bread.
I usually bake boneless chicken (breaded) with a side of sauteed veggies. Or you can grill chicken if you have a george Forman grill.
This is one of my faviourite chicken dishes, hope u like it too.
Ingredients:
* 8 Chicken drumsticks/ large chicken wings
Marinade
* 1 tbsp Soy sauce
* 1 tbsp Honey
* 1 tsp Turmeric
* 1-2 tsp Cumin

Peanut sauce

Method:
* Pierce the chicken pieces several times each with a knife and place in a non-metallic bowl.
* Mix all the marinade ingredients together and stir into the chicken. Leave to marinate over night or at least for 3 hours, turning them occasionally.
* Preheat the oven to 200 C/ Gas mark 6.
* To make the sauce, place all the ingredients, except the coriander, in a small pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Transfer to a dipping bowl, and leave to cool to room temperature. Stir in the coriander just before serving.
* Transfer the chicken pieces into a roasting tray with the marinade. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and thoroughly cooked through (juices should run clear) if the juices run clear. If still not cooked leave for another 10 minutes.
