PARMESAN CHICKEN CUTLETS

Serves 4

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp Italian style dried bread crumbs

1/8 tsp paprika

4 (4-oz) skinless boneless chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 400F.  In resealable plastic bag, combine cheese, crumbs, and paprika; shake well.  Add chicken breasts, one at a time, shake to coat well on all sides.   Arrange chicken on nonstick baking sheet; bake until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.  (This is pretty mild; I'd add more dried herbs, like basil, oregano, parsley; then maybe serve it with a hot tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce?).
