Basil Baked Chicken
.
I found this recipe online the other day and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It's a simple dish but the chicken was just as moist and tender as could be. I used dried basil - and lemon yogurt, which was a wonderfully slightly sweet counterpoint to the saltiness of the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Love a good salty/sweet taste!

Sounds good but in our heat I don't turn the overn on. Well since we got the microwave I use it more. Maybe this could be done in it.
Happy belated birthday. Any suggestions on what to use other than basil? I hate basil. With a purple passion...
Sounds absolutely delicious -- and simple, too. I think I'll make this ... and I *love* basil, especially fresh!
