1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
Mix basil, oregano, parsley, diced shallots, and salt and pepper with bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
3
In another shallow bowl, melt half the butter; add the white wine and mix.
4
Cover the chicken breasts with parchment paper, or place in a plastic bag, and pound until roughly even in thickness.
5
No need to go crazy, this just helps them cook evenly.
6
Dip each chicken breast in the melted butter and wine mixture, then roll in bread crumbs and place in a (greased) baking pan (I find that metal works best).
7
Drizzle some of the extra wine and butter over the breaded chicken, and cover tightly with foil.
8
Bake until fully cooked, about 30-45 minutes.
9
Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes or so, until the breading is nicely browned.
10
Keep your eye on the bottom of the chickenyou dont want the underside to still be soft or soggy.
11
Serve over rice, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
12
If you want to inject a bit more flavor, you can make a sauce by sauteing more shallots with wine and butter over medium heat.
13
Pour sauce over chicken and rice before garnishing with lemon and parsley.
