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!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
