Dollar General Challenge Day 3, Chicken Kiev

This recipe is heavy with ingredients that I consider pantry items.  Hopefully they are for you too.
If you're missing ingredients, do the best with what you've got.  Change up the spices, use cracker crumbs or even instant mashed potatoes in place of the bread crumbs.  Cooking doesn't have to be so exact and you may just create something even better by experimenting.

Country Style Chicken Kiev
No, my chicken isn't burned, that's parsley 😃
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs Pantry item, no bread crumbs? Toast bread and run through processor.
1 tsp dried basil Pantry item
1 tsp dried oregano Pantry item
1/2 tsp garlic salt Pantry item
1/4 tsp salt Pantry item
2/3 Cup butter, melted Pantry item
1 lb Chicken Breast, if large butterfly cut them open to have four portions $3.00
1/4 Cup water free, or chicken broth, white wine or apple juice
1 Tbsp dried parsley Pantry item

Serve with Instant flavored rice $1.00
and your choice of canned vegetables .50

Directions:
Heat oven to 375*
Combine bread crumbs,basil, oregano, and salts.
Divide melted butter, reserving 1/3 cup for later.
Dip chicken in remaining 1/3 cup butter, then dredge in bread crumb mixture.
Place chicken in 9" square baking dish.
Bake for 50 minutes or until chicken is fork tender.
Meanwhile add water or your preferred liquid to the reserved butter and add parsley.
Make rice according to package directions.
When chicken is golden brown, pour butter sauce over chicken. 
Continue to bake and additional 3-5 minutes until sauce is heated through.
This is a good time to warm up your veggies.

Enjoy!
