Tender delicious chicken dish. I used fresh breadcrumbs and got a nice buttery crispy coating. Thanks for posting.

Terific flavor and very easy. Only thing I'll do different next time is to make sure I don't crowd the pan as mine were a little soggy on the bottom. (Or use a wire rack). Whole family says they'd definitely like these again.

Very delicious. I used Italian bread crumbs and cut back on the other seasoning and romano since that's all I had. I did half on a cookie sheet and half on a glass pan, and would not recommend the glass pan. The cookie sheet pieces were nice and crispy and only needed about 12 minutes on each side at 400 degrees for me, since I cut in pretty small pieces. There is not enough crumbs for four breasts, I had two large ones and almost ran out. Served with marinara for dipping, will make this again!

These were excellent. I cooked them waaaaaaaaaaay too long, so I can't comment on how tender they were, but they were still delicious. This is certainly a keeper for me.

I used italian breadcrumbs and fresh parmesan cheese. Found them to be on the salty side but no leftovers.
