How to Make Baked Chicken Continentale

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts) thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Remove any visible excess fat from the chicken pieces and discard.
  4. Season both sides of the chicken generously with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add extra garlic salt to taste!
  5. In a pie plate, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp dried herbs (Italian blend recommended), and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard. Mix well.
  6. In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter and mix in 2 cloves minced garlic.
  7. Brush the melted garlic butter generously over both sides of the chicken pieces.
  8. Coat both sides of the chicken evenly with the crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a large baking pan, ensuring they are several inches apart.
  10. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
