In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter. Mince the garlic, finely chop the parsley, and add them to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour the garlic butter over the chicken. Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Sprinkle the cheese on top and return to the oven.
