I took the heels of bread we never eat and put them in my little food processor with italian seasoning for the bread crumbs. Worked great!

I love easy recipes and when they are this tasty it is twice as good. Thank you.

I love this recipe. My family loves it. Thanks for making me a good "chef" ;)

I made this dish last week for my sister's family. The adults as well as the children liked this dish. I found the chicken tender, had good flavor and it was filling.

I've found that if you rinse and lightly pat dry the chicken, dredge it in flour, then the egg, then flavored breadcrumbs or panko, you have a very crispy outcome.The cheese in the breadcrumb/panko mixture adds a lot of flavor as others have suggested. Heat the sauce before you put it on the chicken 5 mins before serving or it will "wilt" the chicken and may decrease the temperature of the chicken.

This was DELICIOUS!! We prepared it between my hubby, 4 year old son and I. Very easy to do and SO YUMMY!!
We had to modify the cooking time and other minor changes:
We used panko breadcrumbs with mediterranean herb seasoning for the breading.
The chicken was still very pink after the 1st 20 minutes, so we baked for 10 more. We had defrosted it in the fridge 24 hours prior, but it may not have been fully thawed.
We used pasta sauce and topped with shredded mozzarella/parmesan
Baked an additional 20 minutes to make extra sure the chicken was thoroughly cooked.
We served with whole wheat linguine pasta. Perfect dinner!
Even with all the extra cooking time, the chicken was tender, juicy, perfectly cooked through, just delicious. And our 4 year old kept thanking mommy and daddy for making it, even though he totally helped!
This is a new family favorite!

Just made this for dinner tonight. It was my first time even making chicken parm & It turned out awesome. I put parmesan cheese, italian seasoning & garlic powder in the bread crumbs. Thanks for the great recipe!

I prepared the chicken as recipe calls for with the difference of splitting with knife at the meatiest point filling with salt fresh ground pepper, parmesan cheese (lots) a little butter, fasten with tooth picks. Yum Yum it was the bomb!

I'm trying this tonight with a few modifications. I had no breadcrumbs so I crushed up some multigrain crackers and added Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese. I tasted the "breadcrumb" mixture and it tasted just like Italian breadcrumbs. Wish me luck!

I am trying this recipe tonight. It sounds like its gonna taste good. Thanks in advance for the other tips. Will report back tomorrow.

Made this at the firehouse for 9 guys. Went over real well. Used the suggestions of the previous posts by adding cheese to the bread crumbs and butterflied the chicken breasts. Also added a slice of prosciutto on top of the chicken when I put on the sauce and mozzarella cheese. Definitely gonna make this one again.

I made half breaded and half not breaded and both were great! The kids loved it which is always a plus! Highly suggest for a quick weeknight meal.

My 17 yr. old loved it! I opted to use a spicy marinara, and will try the parm with the bread crumbs next time. Thanks for sharing.

You might want to put slices of mozzarella on top of the chicken and then top again with shredded parmesan.

Is great with rat-a-to-ee too!!! Good dish!
