On the Menu: Italian Baked Chicken

It's been awhile since I posted a recipe and this one is a definite keeper! Try not to make this weekly....it's so moist. Best paired with a salad or steamed broccoli. Yum!

The Ingredients:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

How to Make it:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip chicken into the mayonnaise mixture, then into the bread crumbs to coat. Arrange coated chicken on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken juices run clear and coating is golden brown.

30 Days Out

As of today, we are 30 days out until closing. Can this really be true? I can't believe it has happened so fast and without any major hiccups. Adams, our builder, has been great to work with and they have done a fabulous job. We don't have any complaints!

What has happened since the last update (not in any certain order):
All exterior surfaces, brick and vinyl, are complete
Driveway and porches have been poured.
Walls have one coat of paint
Doors have been painted
Flooring is complete in the bathrooms
Mantle was built and painted

What still needs to happen:
Second coat of paint
Trim around all windows
Toilets to be installed
Cabinets and countertops to be installed
The rest of the flooring to be installed
Appliances to be installed
Landscaping (sod in the front yard and plants)

I'll post some pictures soon. I can't wait to move in!
