I have a friend who grows garlic in California who is a
member of the Society of the Lovers of the Stinking Rose.
He says, "The most common misconception about garlic is
that garlic breath is bad breath." He and his fellow
Lovers of the Stinking Rose believe that on the contrary,
it's mouthwash breath that is unpleasant. Their slogan is,
"Get rid of mouthwash breath; eat garlic!" This recipe
probably won't give you either mouthwash breath or garlic
breath, since cooked garlic is quite mild in its effects.
1 roaster boneless breast
salt and ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, divided
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced, fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced shallots or scallions
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 375oF. Season breast with salt and pepper.
Pour 3 tablespoons melted butter into a baking dish. Add
chicken to dish and turn to coat with butter. In a small
bowl combine bread crumbs, parsley, shallots and garlic and
spoon over chicken. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon
butter. Top with lemon slices. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or
until chicken is cooked through.

This recipe calls for scallions. If you have trouble
finding scallions, ask for green onions; they're the same
thing.
