Our family really liked this. I did make a few changes however. I used Progresso Italian Style bread crumbs and added 1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese to the crumbs. I also left out the tomatos and used Ragu Robusto® Spaghetti sauce with saute onions and garlic in place of the marinara sauce. I also used a whole jar of the Ragu so we had more sauce for a pasta side.

This recipe was a big hit with my family. It looked very impressive, but it was actually quite easy to make. I left out the tomatoes and used extra marinara sauce, and then I served it with spaghetti and put the sauce over everything. It was awesome! This is definitely one of my favorite Italian chicken recipes, and I'll be serving it quite often.
