We really liked this one, it really makes a nice quick week night dinner. We will be making this again. Thanks

The parsley is a nice touch! The breading is very tender and the chicken moist and delicious. And any schnitzel-type dish is a winner with me, especially with fresh lemon. Putting the cheese in the egg whites is an interesting variation; it provides a lighter cheese crust than when it is mixed with flour or panko or breadcrumbs. Nice dish, and quick and easy. I am very happy I tried it!

Very yummy chicken dish. Almost like a schnitzel with the lemon squeezed on it. This is quick and easy recipe to prepare. Great for a week night when time is limited. I cut the recipe in half and had just the right amount of egg whites and flour for my pounded chicken. This is a keeper. Thanks for posting.

My whole family loved this chicken! I did omit parsley and lemon wedges, but it was delicious. We'll definitely have often. Thanks.
