Sorry but this did not work for us at all but that was partly my fault. The breasts I used were 270g each (about 9 ounces) so allowed 50 minutes to cook them and they were perfect at that point but the coating was not at all crispy so gave a light spray with oil and put them under the grill/boiler were they crisped up but ended up extremely dry and tough. Would try again and give a spray of oil at the beginning or maybe give them a light fry first and then transfer to the oven to finish cooking. Thank you and sorry I botched it upAilsa of New Zealand, made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup.

Great chicken recipe. I had to increase the amounts a bit, due to the fact I had 3 breasts in my package. I used Panko, as i like the crumb better. The only thing I wasn't fond of was, the coating under the chicken was a tad soggy. However, that wouldn't deter me from making this again. Delicious! :)

I really liked this recipe. I used a beautiful aged (sticky)balsamic and the flavours were wonderfully balanced. I used spray oil and gave the top of each piece a little spritz.

I used boneless thighs. I also tried ground flax seed instead of bread crumbs. It didn't crisp up. Actually, the coating was kinda gooey. :( Very tasty & the kids LOVED it - especially the one who rarely eats meat. Fast & easy so it will be made here again. Trying a combo of bread crumbs/ground flax seed next time hoping for crispier results.
