Very quick & easy recipe. A lot lighter than the breadcrumb & mayo chicken my family requests. DS loved this chicken more than any other, eating his & then my leftovers (large pieces of chicken). He especially liked the crumb topping. DH & I both felt there were too many crumbs, but when even toddler DD eats the chicken, we KNOW it's a good recipe! I only used about 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture so next time I'll just cut the breadcrumbs down by half, leaving everything else the same & I think this recipe will be a 5 star for all four of us! :) Thanks for posting, lazy g!
