1) Melt in baking pan at about 250 degrees:

• ½ c. butter

2) Meanwhile, blend in blender until small bread crumbs are formed; pour into shallow bowl:

• 1 slice bread (or as needed to make 1 c. crumbs)
• 2 sprigs parsley (for about ¼ c. minced)
• ½ c. Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder

3) Remove visible fat from chicken:

• 2 lbs. skinned chicken breast pieces

​4) Coat chicken pieces in melted butter in pan, then coat with crumb mixture; lay single layer in remaining butter in pan.

5) Garnish with paprika; bake uncovered at 350 degrees until tender, about 1 hr.; baste 2 or 3 times during baking.  Cover with foil if chicken begins to brown too much before done.
