  • “I made this tonight, I was in a hurry .. This is not merely “VERY good”, it is EXCELLENT !! Easy and quick, my husband loved it .. he said it is as good as anything you might get in a restaurant .. I didn’t have any pasta sauce, so I used tomato sauce, 1/2 tsp italian seasoning and 1/4 tsp garlic powder … Thanks for a great recipe!!”

  • “Inez this was very good, I used my homemade sauce and it turned out just scrumptious!! This is very similar to my veal parmesan I make. I had to cook my chicken quite a bit longer only because they were too thick.We all enjoyed this recipe very much, I served it with garlic bread, and a ceasar salad.Thanks so much!!”

  • “Thanks for a great recipe Inez! You really get a lot ofbang for your buck, so to speak, with this one. It takes almost no time to make and is just delicious. The only thing I did differently was after frying the chicken to “almost done” I layered it in the bottom of a large, flat casserole dish, poured on the sauce, topped with the cheese and popped into a 350º oven for 30 minutes. With a salad of mixed Italian greens and Texas toast, it was perfect!”

  • “I think this is as good as you’ll find in any restaurant. I served mine over spaghetti.”

  • “This is sooo easy and really delicious. My teenage sons loved it and they are so fussy! I served it with fries and a tossed salad…it was just like a restaurant meal.”

  • “Nice, simple recipe. Variations:- Make your own bread crumbs from French bread, and add a little flower, garlic, oregano and basil.- Make your own sauce- Serve with LinguiniBetter than Olive Garden… :)- Jm4n”

  • “I was amazed at how simple this recipe was. It tastes like you spent a lot more time in the kitchen than is actually required. inez, yet again a magnificent recipe. I brought out the plate and set it down in front of my SO and all he could say was, “WOW, this looks amazing”. The chicken was sooo tender and the breading was perfect. We loved it, loved it, loved it! Thanks so much for another permanent recipe in my cookbook.”

  • “This is the best I have ever tasted.Italian restaurants could take lessons from this recipe.”

  • “This was OUTSTANDING!!! The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I too browned the chicken in the skillet, then dumped everything into a casserole dish and baked for 30-45 minutes. I’m a cheese nut, so of course I added a ton of mozz! Thanks again!”
