Steps:
- The chicken breasts we used were large (3 chicken breasts = 2 1/3 pounds). If the chicken breasts you are using are also large cut them in half to get 6 pieces.
- Place the chicken breasts in a zippered bag. Use the side of a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness throughout so they cook evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9x13 pan and place it in the oven for the butter to melt while the oven heats.
- In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Place milk in another shallow bowl.
- Dip chicken in milk, then roll it in the crumb mixture.
- Place chicken in the baking dish with the melted butter.
- Combine the butter, garlic and lemon juice and drizzle over the chicken, then sprinkle on the paprika.
- Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Uncover the pan, turn the chicken and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. The baking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken, so be sure to check it to make sure it is thoroughly cooked. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts cook evenly, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or even the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
- Add the garlic and Parmesan cheese to the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking so that they don't burn.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.
