Submitted by Creole cookin

"the recipe for that popular Italian eatery's new chicken dish....it's delicious! 5/5/07- here's a secret to getting the bread crumb mixture closer to the O Garden-- use panko bread crumbs mixed with 2 tbs of Italian seasoning and believe it or not- Potato Stix that you can find in the chip aisle. Omit grated potato and Italian bread crumbs when using these alternate ingredients This will give a closer result to the topping used in the popular eatery and will brown more evenly and crispier than the listed ingredients. Happy Eating!"
