I thought I'd give this a try because I had some chopped onion I wanted to use up, and only chicken breasts to make dinner with. However, the instructions are rather vague, and even though I followed them as best as I could, I came up with an undesirable result. Halfway through preparation, I realized that nowhere in the directions did it mention the canola oil, salt, or pepper from the ingredient list. Were those supposed to be utilized somewhere? With the breadcrumb mixture perhaps? I wonder now if "sprinkling the chicken with breadcrumbs" was supposed to be interpreted as "coat the chicken on both sides", since I ended up with a pile of dry breadcrumbs on top of my chicken when it was done. My husband renamed the dish "Sandy Chicken", and proceeded to scrape off all the bread crumbs, salvaging the chicken, which happened to still be bearable with the rest of our meal. Needless to say, this one won't be bothered with again.
