This was excellent! The chicken breasts were just nicely cooked through and tender and the coating gives a great flavour; I used fresh grated Asiago mixed in with the crumbs. I have to make this again because it's incredibly easy and fast for a week night, and because all about the chutney and I have to serve that next time for sure! Thanks for posting a keeper, Dancer.
