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 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!

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!

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.

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 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!

LOVED this recipe! Made it using chicken tenderloins. For the egg mixture - I added some Italian dressing, and baked the dish a little lower at 350°F for about 45 minutes.

I spooned the sauce onto noodles, then added the chicken- topped with cheese and I melted the cheese for a few minutes in the oven.

AWESOME recipe!!! Rave reviews from the dinner table!!! Can't wait to make it again!

No cheese needs to be added to the breadcrumbs if you're using FLAVORED breadcrumbs. Also, make sure you buy the thin chicken breasts (saves time pounding them). We are on low-fat, low-sodium here so we top it off with low-sodium mozz. cheese.

I made this and it came out perfect! Its a nice thing to cook when you're too lazy to go all out with your dinner.

My family and I just finished eating this, and it was a huge success!! I have 3 kids ages 5 and under, and they all finished their plates, and my husband had 2nds, which is always a good thing :) I did everything as suggested. The cooking time was right on and my chicken turned out perfect. The only change I made at all was that I put 1/2 a cup Parmesan (shredded) and 1/2 a cup Mozzarella on. Thank you so much, this recipe has been added to my favorites!

I just made this meal a few minutes ago. Ive made it before from another website but just wanted this for temp. for the oven. I did this recipe a little different then told. I pan-fried the chicken after I covered it in the breadcrumbs and egg and added some s/p and milk to the egg mixture. Pretty much after I did that I did the same thing the recipe told to cover in sauce and cheese. Im also making lingunine pasta with it and im going to add more sauce to the noodles and cheese. Should be a good meal & Easy one at that!
