I really wasn't thinking this would be all that good...but was short on time and had all ingredients. SO AWESOME! Hubby hates 1/2 of dinners, but he really likes this one. The only change I made was seasoning the chicken prior to browning, and I only had Panko, so I mixed Italian seasoning and the parmesan in that

I made this recipe on 1/8/13 for mine and my SO's dinner,and most importantly the Cook-A-Thon for our dear Lorac. :) I used one large chicken breast which was pounded to 1/3 inch piece and cut in half.Before browning, the chicken was sprinkled on both sides with a bit of seasoned salt & pepper. Since I didn't have the correct box size of the potatoes,the liquid portion of the recipe was adjusted to the directions on the box. For the veggies, I used some leftover peas and carrots. As I was adding the onions and mustard a small amount of pepper was also added. After 45 minutes of baking time,the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese was added and returned for another 5 minutes or so. We both liked it enough to give it a good " SOLID " 4 stars. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

I made this with pork chops instead of chicken, and intend to try this with chicken soon. Sooo good! I used a bag of carrots instead of mixed veggies and three cheese potatoes. I am definetly making this again! This definetly deserves 5 stars! Oh and I left out the onions because my family doesn't like them.

Very good! I used the 8 oz size box so I just added a little extra of water, milk, onions, and ground mustard. Also, I just sprinkled the cheese on top without measuring, but it was more than 2 tablesppoons. And I threw in a *little* garlic poweder. Very good!
