1/2 cup butter
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parsley, minced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Melt the butter in a 13x9 baking pan in 250F oven. Remove pan from oven and set oven at 350F.

Mix the bread crumbs, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt and garlic powder in a bowl.

Lay the chicken pieces in the pan and then turn them over to coat with melted butter, then roll them in the crumb mixture. Arrange in a single layer in the pan.

Garnish with paprika and bake uncovered for 1 hour, basting twice with the pan juices.
