GARLIC CHICKEN BAKED WITH CHEDDAR THYME CRUST



Garlic Chicken Baked With Cheddar Thyme Crust image

We found this recipe on the back of a Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese bag, the shredded variety. We loved it. It is a simple dish. We ate it with mashed potatoes, a salad and cooked carrots. But you can pair it with whatever yoiu like to please your family's own tastes. If you don't have TIllamook cheese in your area, just use your regular brand of cheese, medium variety. We like our chicken seared before baking so I lightly browned each side of the chicken before proceeding with the baking.
