  • “This was fabulous!My whole family liked it, even the kids.The recipe was easy to follow and the chicken moist and tender.This will become a family staple.The total cook/prep time is easy to do after a busy day at work.”

  • “I love this! I always make salad to go along with it instead of noodles.”

  • “I really liked this. It’s easy but good. For me, the key is to either slice the breasts in half or pound them thin. I always used a little extra of the ingredients because I like mine saucy.”

  • “This is a quick and easy recipe to prepare…Delicious and the chicken was tender!”

  • “they taste delicious!!”

  • “HUGE Hit!I dredged the chicken in flour prior to the egg and bread crumbs and I also baked it a bit longer than stated 20 min.(more like 30).[ Family likes the cheese browned and bubbly]. I read through all of the other recipes on this site and this one seemed to be simple and to the point.Family said that it was better than ANY restaurant they have been to!I served it with whole wheat fetucini and green beans. YUMMY!”
