Crunchy Crouton Chicken

1 cup ranch flavored croutons, crushed
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 skinned and boned chicken breasts (I like to use tenders or cut the breasts into strips)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp lemon juice

Combine first 5 ingredients in zip loc bag.  Dip chicken in milk and add to crouton mixture, shake.  Remove chicken from bag and discard crouton mixture.  (I save the crouton stuff and pour it on top of the chicken.)  Place chicken in greased 13 by 9.  Combine melted butter, garlic powder and lemon juice.  Drizzle over chicken.  Bake uncovered at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes.

When I first started making this I didn't have trouble finding the ranch croutons, but now our commissary and walmart do not carry them.  I will probably just use regular croutons and add some ranch powder stuff when I crush them.
