Oatmeal Chicken image

This recipe was given to me by a friend many years ago. Her favorite is bone-in chicken, while mine is boneless, skinless breast. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. My family, friends, relatives...well everyone I know tries to wrest an invitation to dinner when they know this chicken is on the menu. It smells wonderful...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-6oz each)
1 c old fashioned oats
1/2 c parmesan cheese (in shaker jar)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 stick salted butter
1 tsp freshly minced garlic

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter over low heat; add garlic and stir.
  • 2. In a pie plate, mix oatmeal, Parmesan and thyme. When mixture runs out, mix more as needed; doubling the ingredients does not seem to work as well.
  • 3. Rinse and dry chicken breasts; trim any visible fat.
  • 4. Dip chicken in butter to coat; then press into the oatmeal mixture until coated. Repeat with remaining breasts.
  • 5. Place coated breasts in a prepared casserole dish or baking pan; allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • 6. Drizzle remaining butter evenly over the breasts and bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.
  • 7. Serve hot, with spinach mashed potatoes and steamed vegetable medley or orange-glazed carrots.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

I made this in the air fryer and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

I didn't have any panko breadcrumbs, so I used crushed cornflakes instead. It worked perfectly!
