California farmers use efficient irrigation practices that help stretch water supplies, especially during a drought. World-class conservation means you can be proud of local farm products when you “Keep the State on Your Plate!”

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs

  • ⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions:

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper.
  5. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
