  • Cut the chicken breast into medium serving-size pieces. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flour, salt, and khmeli-suneli (a Georgian herb blend—you can substitute your own mix of dried herbs), then stir in the coarsely grated cheese. Melt the butter. Dip each piece of chicken in the melted butter and roll it in the crumb mixture. Line a baking dish with foil and arrange the breaded chicken inside. Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes. Your cheese-crusted chicken is ready! Serve it with a side dish or on its own. Enjoy!
