I used boneless/skinless chicken breast halves and cut them in half. The only thing I did different was to drizzeled a little butter over them before baking. This made for a "moist" coating rather than a crisp breading...(just a personal preference at the moment). I couldn't believe how easy and tasty this dish was. No doubt I will be making this over and over again. Thanks for sharing this.
