Stuffed mushrooms

I love mushrooms, as long as they're cooked. This is my parents recipe, kind of altered.

Ingredients:

• mushrooms
• breadcrumbs
• shredded cheese (this time I used asiago...sometimes I use parmegian)
• minced garlic or garlic powder
• italian seasonings
• butter or olive oil

Directions:

• wash the mushrooms
• pop the stem out and scrape some of the insides out (put aside in bowl)
• take the stems and chop them up (i use my mini chopper)
• put them in a bowl and add breadcrumbs, garlic, seasonings and cheese.
• in a skillet, put a little butter or olive oil. Do this over medium heat.
  
• put the breadcrumb mixture in skillet and cook until it becomes a little gummy.
• Place the mushroom caps upside down on a cookie sheet and fill with the stuffing.
• Cook at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
  

Garlic Cheddar Chicken

A fellow knottie (Becky) posted this recipe the other day and it sounded so good. I decided to try it today, and I was correct! It is yummy!!

Ingredients:

• Extra virgin olive oil (or butter)
  
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (I used about 6-7)
  
• 3/4 c. dry Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/2 c. freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
• Various Italian seasonings to taste
  
• 8 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin (I used 6)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  
• Heat olive oil in saucepan over low heat and cook garlic until tender (I sauteed it in the EVOO, but then added about 1/2 cup of I can't believe its not butter spray (just pour it in) to make a garlic butter)
  
• In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan and cheddar cheese, and seasonings
• Dip each chicken breast in garlic butter to coat then press into breadcrumb mixture
• Put thin layer of breadcrumb mixture on the bottom of 9" x 13" baking dish, then arrange chicken breasts in dish
• Drizzle with remaining oil and top with any remaining breadcrumb mixture
• Bake 30 mins. or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear
• For the last couple minutes, I sprinkle cheddar and parmesan cheese on to the top of the chicken and then turn on the broiler to make the top of the dish crispy/browned (I didn't broil, I just put it back in to melt the cheese)
