Imperial Chicken

This is a long time favorite.

I got this recipe from my roommate in college. I went to her home for the weekend and her Mom, a very good cook and such a nice women, served this yummy chicken recipe. It's called Imperial Chicken and it is very easy to make, and everyone I have ever cooked it for has liked it. It is my partner's favorite. :-)

These are the ingredients:

1- 1/12 lbs of boneless chicken breasts
1 cup of bread crumbs
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of parsley flakes
1 stick of butter
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
a little milk
white instant rice

Melt one stick of butter in a bowl in the microwave. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley flakes in another bowl. Immerse the chicken pieces in the bowl of butter and then roll them in the other bowl of crumbs, Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes until they are completely covered. Place them in a casserole, baking dish, or cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Pam. Then dribble any extra butter over the chicken and sprinkle some additional parsley flakes on top. Cook 30-40 minutes.

Serve with white rice, and make a gravy for the rice and chicken by heating up cream of mushroom soup with a little milk mixed in.

FYI: I do not use fresh breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, or parsley flakes. I use store bought/ label brands for all and it turns out yummy.
