Made this recipe for dinner this evening & it was just great, & I'll definitely make it again, SOON! I used 4 chicken breasts. I started with the breasts bottom-side up & added more of the breadcrumbs just before sprinkling with paprika. Then, after 30 minutes, I turned the breasts over, basted with melted butter, sprinkled more breadcrumbs over each one & then added the sesame seeds. I was extremely pleased with the outcome! Many thanks for this great recipe.

We really enjoyed this chicken, I used 3 bone in, skin on chicken breast halves and I really think it would have been nicer with boneless skinless chicken breasts, so next time I will try it that way. The combo of flavors was really nice and I will double the butter and lemon juice next time, so the chicken cooks in it a little more. I used garlic and herb bread crumbs. Thanks Ellie!
