Dirty chicken or Mindy's "Chicken with dirt on it"

1/2 c. Parmesan
1. c Italian bread crumbs
1 cube butter, melted *(or egg whites for a healthier alternative)
chicken thighs (I use boneless, skinless)

Line pyrex with foil for easy clean up.

Mix parm and bread crumbs. Dip thigh in butter and coat with mixture.

Bake 350-375 uncovered for 1 hours.

Mary Ann's 2019 Note: I just made this and it only took 30 minutes with skinless boneless thighs.

*MaryAnn uses egg whites to make the bread crumbs stick. I will try this too. Would be great to cut out all that butter especially since I usually make corn pudding as a side dish and that uses a lot of butter too.

When Jeff and I were dating, Marcia invited us over for dinner for the first time. Marcia prepared this delicious chicken and Mindy, upon viewing it, leaned over and asked "Do I have to eat the chicken with the dirt on it?" A classic!
