Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, and Miracle Whip until smooth. Set aside.
-
In a separate shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Place half of the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet.
-
Place the six chicken breasts cut-side down onto the breadcrumb layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about two inches apart so they do not touch.
-
Spoon the soup mixture evenly over each chicken breast, creating a mound of about 1/3 cup per breast.
-
Bake uncovered at 350ðF (175ðC) for 30 minutes.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully sprinkle the remaining breadcrumb mixture over each chicken breast to cover them completely.
-
Mix the melted butter with the marjoram. Brush this mixture evenly over the breadcrumb topping on each chicken breast.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 300ðF (150ðC). Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
-
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and green pepper spears if desired.
