Meal time ideas ~ Crispy herbed chicken

Some friends wanted to know my secret behind some of my meals I have been posting on Instagram and Facebook. I don't ever mind sharing and most of the time I love to just make up my own creations, its much funner that way :)
So for my herbed, crispy chicken here it is... super simple and sooo good!!

You need skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thawed (however many will feed your fam)
Then mix together some Kellogg's crumbs with a bunch of different spices. You don't want a ton of spices with salt or they will just taste very salty but don't be cheap with the spices and play it up, mix a bunch together. I added in a ton of different ones from Epicure. I even added in dry onion soup mix once!
Coat each chicken breast in the crumbs making sure to cover the whole thing so no chicken is showing. My chicken is usually juicy so it coats fine but if it wont coat well you can either wet your chicken a bit or dip each one in egg or plain yogurt first. I have done every way and I only like the crumbs on it the best, seems to get more crunchy!
Once coated put all your chicken in a pan with melted butter. Cook the chicken until brown on each side. Then put in a glass (oven safe) dish and bake for 1/2 hour at 350. Check your chicken at the half hour mark just to make sure its cooked all the way threw.

And this last time I bought some Havarti dill cheese slices and placed a slice on each piece of chicken and put it on a light broil until melted and a bit crispy! It added so much more to the chicken! First time I have added the cheese. I just had it in the fridge and it needed to be used up! But don't put the cheese on until the end when the chicken is done cooking cause it don't take long for the cheese to melt under broil. But watch it, you don't want it to burn or broil to long!
Your chicken should come out looking like this! Enjoy
