I used about a pound and a half of boneless, skinless chicken breast. I used about a pinch less basil than the recipe calls for because I LOVE rosemary. I cooked it for 40 minutes and it came out perfectly! The chicken coating had a very good texture, and the chicken was juicy! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this with boneless skin-on chicken breasts, cut up into serving pieces. The chicken came out lovely, tender and moist. In addition, the recipe was very easy to put together. Next time, however, I'll use thighs, because I'd like to taste the chicken more. I'll also decrease the basil and rosemary by about 1/3. I had almost decided to give 4 stars, but say that I felt it deserved 4 1/2. As I now see that the recipe doesn't call for breasts, but just says chicken pieces, I will make it 5 stars. Will definitely have this again when pressed for time. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
