01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
03 - 1 cup milk
04 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon paprika

04 - Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
05 - Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the coating is golden and crispy.

02 - For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the tops of the breaded chicken with cooking spray before baking.
