Baked Chicken Parmesan

1 (2 1/2 to 3 lb) chicken or 6 boned and split chicken breasts.
1/2 cup melted butter
1 clove garlic, crushed.
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1-1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 T chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 350*F. Mix butter, garlic, mustard and Worchestershire sauce in bowl. In second bowl, mix bread crumbs, cheese, salt and parsley. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then in crumb mixture, coating well. Place chicken in a shallow pan and backe uncovered for 1-1/4 hous, or until golden brown and tender. Baste once or twice with drippings.

We substituted boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It works better. If you do that, please make sure that you reduce the baking time to approx. 30 minutes. I've made this multiple times, and the only suggestion I have other than those already mentioned would be this: use more garlic and more parsley.
