2 lg. split chicken breasts
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, melted
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. crumbled, dried thyme
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. sesame seed

Rinse and thoroughly dry chicken breasts. Place skin side up in center of a sheet of foil. Combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and thyme. Spoon about 1/2 of mixture over chicken. Fold foil over chicken and seal. Place on broiler pan, slip under broiler, about 4 inches from heat, for 20 to 25 minutes. (I put mine in 350 degree oven and bake for about 30 minutes.)

Unfold foil; fold down, forming it into a shallow pan with edges. Add sesame seed to remaining butter mixture. Spread a spoonful of the sesame mixture on top of each breast. Return to broiler for 3 to 5 minutes or until sesame seeds are browned. Pour juices into a bowl for gravy. Delicious over white rice. Nice for guests because this recipe can be prepared and sealed in the foil early in the day, then placed in the oven at the proper time.

Choose large breasts; each split chicken breast should weigh almost 1/2 pound.
