CHEESE CRUSTED CHICKEN



Cheese Crusted Chicken image

I am posting the original recipe that I received but I have changed things when I didn't have them on hand such as the cheese, I've used a mixture of Parmesan and mild cheddar. And I never seem to have time to flatten them so I just just browned them first and then cook them in the oven to finish them off.
