Submitted by VickyJ

"I think this is much better than the stuff you buy from the store. It has much more flavor. It's a quick meal when you don't have time or don't know what else to make... very, very tasty! I used boneless chicken breasts."

What a great idea Vicki. We really enjoyed this. Because DH, for health reasons, is not allowed any oil or fat in his diet, I had to make some changes. As I couldn’t add the oil I used egg whites, lightly beaten, to dunk the chicken in prior to shaking in the herb mix. Then I used a pastry brush to paint on a little chicken stock on the top of the chicken to moisten the crumbs – I didn’t want them too dry because I couldn’t use the oil. It turned out fine and because we liked the idea so much I used it with fish, just changing the seasonings a little to suit - omitting some and adding lemon pepper - and it worked great. Thanks so much for a great recipe, I have used it a couple of times already. I know it would be even better your way and certainly easier but it was still great.

I gave this recipe 4 stars. My fanily really enjoyed this recipe. I made this when I found I had no shake n bake. I was very surprised it was just like shake n bake. I followed the recipe almost exactly except I didn't use the olive oil and I just coated my chicken with the coating. Overall I nwill make this again! Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe!

"It's Shake-N-Bake and Thor hepped". Very tasty and easy. Thor likes skin so I used bone-in chicken breasts. Had a little trouble getting the mixture to stick so next time I will try oiling the chicken then shaking, instead of adding the oil to the mixture. Thanks, VickyJ!! I see more chicken in our future.

vicky,this recipe was really very good.the reason i gave it 4 *'s.i had to make a couple of substitutions,first i only had garlic butter flavored ritz crackers,so i cut back the garlic powder to 1 tsp. and i only had canola oil so that's what i used. and no whole wheat flour,so i used the same amount of self-rising.and you were so right on the baking time for boneless chicken.i served this with recipe#26306 and turnip greens w/diced bacon.this will be made again.thank you for posting.
