You just need a meat thermometer to tell when the meat is done. All ovens cook different. Its a very easy recipe....

If you marinate the chicken in italian dressing, or Lawry's marinade, for about 30 min - 1 hour, it keeps the chicken really tender while allowing the exterior get really crispy. For a bit of a cajun kick, slap on some cajun seasoning (literally) to the bare chicken before coating and it gives a nice bite. Goes fantastic with fresh green beans, corn and a salad. Ca c'est bon!! Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!

really good. I'm no chef, but this turned out well. Kids (6 7 fussy eaters) loved it. It was "pizza chicken" to them.

This is a super recipe. Especially if you're limited on time. I ran out of Italian bread crumbs so I used plain ones and added Italian seasoning to plain bread crumbs and it worked great. My family loves it! We use angel hair pasta,it cooks faster. Throw in a bag of mixed Italian seasoned vegetables (from the freezer section) it made a meal!

This was a hit with my friends. The chicken was moist and delicious. I used my own homemade marinara sauce in order to customize the ingredients. Pasta as a side dish worked well with the saucy chicken.

This is a great & simple recipe. I made it today. I did get both cheeses though, parm & mozz, over wheat angel hair pasta. Delicious.

This is an easy and awesome recipe. The chicken came out juicy and delicious! The only problem I'm running into is keeping the melted cheese on top of the sauce LOL. But I think that's more operator error than the recipe. My husband always asks me to make this and I have made it so much that I don't need to look at the recipe anymore. @Cole - the easiest trick on preheating is to turn the oven on before you start preparing the everything. An oven usually take 5 to 10 minutes to preheat.

I took the basic recipe and used Prego Italian Sausage and Garlic Sauce and increased the used 3/4 cup of Shredded Parmesan Cheese and 3/4 cup of Shredded Six Cheese Italian... and increased the final bake time from 10 to 13 minutes. It was screaming!!! Thanks for the base recipe it worked great.

This was a simple excellent dish. Easy to prepare and no frying! I added Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs for added flavor, then after baking for 25 minutes, slathered the chicken with bottled pasta sauce until fully covered. Threw on two generous handfuls of shredded mozzarella, baked for another 15 minutes and the dish came out perfect! Grazie LK!

I always use eggs dip chicken in and than I use real grated Parmesan with bread crumb's with Italian seasoning mixed up in it n dip chicken in that 2nd,butter a cookie sheet or flat pan,place in oven @ 350°F for 20 minutes I flip after 10 minutes, 2 golden both sides.It's really good baked,than add cheese than sauce. Some people use pasta with olive oil, Italian seasoning and diced tomatoes toss together and mix with pasta and cut up the chicken and actually use Alfredo sauce instead of pasta sauce.

Last night I made this it was easy and great. I use garlic & herb breadcrumbs add the cheese with minced garlic. pepper flakes with the crumbs. Cooked for 30 minutes @ 350°F. Next time I make this I am going to use 2 bottles of marinara sauce, over pasta.
