A dry Italian coating mix of bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and herbs. Shake it in a bag, coat chicken, turkey or pork before baking, and keep extra mix in the pantry.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons oregano
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  • Put all the ingredients in a large zip-top bag.
  • Close it and shake until evenly mixed.
  • Coat chicken, turkey, or pork right before baking; the batch coats about 2 to 3 pounds of meat.

Notes

Dry mix airtight, cool, dry, up to 6 months. Discard leftover coating that touched raw meat. Refrigerate cooked meat within 2 hours; use within 3 to 4 days. Food safety: for pantry storage, use shelf-stable grated cheese and dried parsley; if the cheese is freshly grated or the parsley is fresh, refrigerate the mix.
