My mother makes this chicken recipe, has for years. Watching TV, I saw this ad in the 1980's for these Stouffer's or something recipe cards you could send for. One was "Chicken [à la] Diane" and it "only took 30 mins." The picture on TV looked just like this recipe, and only took 30 mins. So, as a result, I kept calling it that, and my family started doing so too (I was like 5 and had charisma?). Anyway, I am unsure of its real name (anyone with an idea, please speak up), but it is a great go-to on a busy night and most Americans have everything in their kitchen as staples for other dishes and it does not yield a specific amount (just keep multiplying).
"Chicken Diane"
Ingredients
boneless, skinless chicken parts (I like thighs, my parents prefer breasts)
butter (include one separate tablespoon per baking dish)
Parmesan cheese, grated (I use the green can from the store. This is the ONLY recipe I personally condone its use)
oregano or parsley, dried and crushed/chopped
Supplies
Oven preheated to 350 F (~175 C)
medium saucepan
large bowl
baking dishes (like a lasagna pan)
Directions
Melt the butter in the saucepan
Mix one parts herbs to two parts cheese in the bowl
Butter the baking dishes
Dip the chicken in the butter, then the dry mixture
Place the chicken in the baking dishes
Bake for ~30 minutes, turn over chicken ~15 minutes in. (Sometimes it may take longer to cook, depending how thick the chicken is, how thick the coating, etc.)
Remove. Serve. I like putting a vegetable hot dish (like green been hot dish) with it as well as bread and butter.
