Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In food processor
chop the garlic. Add oats, cheese, salt, paprika,
& pepper (also basil, oregano & parsley, if
desired) and process until texture of course
flour. Pour olive oil in a shallow bowl or pie
plate. Dip chicken in olive oil, let excess oil
drip off, then roll chicken in oat mixture .
Place chicken in large, shallow baking dish coated
with cooking spray. Pat the oat mixture into the
chicken gently; this helps it make contact with
the olive oil to help the coating brown and crisp.
If it looks dry, give it a light coating of
cooking spray. Bake uncovered for approx. 20-25
minutes until an instant-read thermometer
registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Remove from oven, and let chicken rest for 5-10
minutes to allow juices to settle. These freeze
well.
