This was really good. I did everything to the letter except for the green onions. Everyone in the family gave it the thumbs up. One suggestion would be to halve the chicken breasts which would give more surface area for the yoghurt/mayonaise/cheese as you could spread the pieces out. It would also reduce the cooking time.

Great! I prepped this all in the morning and let it marinate in the fridge until dinner time. I used creole mustard instead of regular prepared mustard and I added some sliced fresh mushrooms to the mixture. The dry sherry and green onions really make the dish and the result is moist, juicy chicken that has a nice smooth, slightly spicy and tangy flavor with a nice nutty taste from the parmesan topping. I do need to add that the chicken took nowhere near 50 minutes to cook, more like 30 minutes in my somewhat temperamental oven. Thanks for an easy tasty recipe that is a keeper!
