Microwave Parmesan Chicken

• 1/4 c. margarine
• 3/4 c. crushed butter-flavored crackers
• 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 T. dried minced onion
• 1 T. dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 fryer chicken -- cut up and skinned

Melt the margarine in a 13x9x2-inch microwave-safe baking dish. In a shallow bowl, combine the crackers, cheese, onion, parsley, garlic powder and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the margarine, then in the crumb mixture. Place the chicken in the baking dish, with thick edges toward the outside. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. Microwave on high 20-25 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink, rotating dish occasionally if your microwave is not equipped with a turn table.
