It was good. Mine took longer to cook- an extra 15 minutes at the end. Maybe my breadcrumbs weren't the best- but I thought it needed more garlic. But definitely tender and moist chicken.

These are great - and the chicken comes out quite moist. One thing I'll change next time is the amount of lemon zest - it states zest of one lemon (but lemons come in different sizes and I'm guessing mine was a tad large - so need to figure out the exact mesurement), they were just a tad tooo tart... still really good tho. Also really quick and easy to prepare. (I marinaded overnight, because I needed them early in the day)
