I made this last night and it was really great! My son and his friend devoured it. The only thing I did was cut back on the butter which left it a bit dry so will not be doing that in the future. This is another recipe that is a keeper. Thanks!!

I made this for the first time for my family, everyone enjoyed it! My three year old ate a half a breast (the breasts were giant) and loved the breading! My parents liked the twist of adding cheese to the breading. Would recommend this recipe for anyone looking for a tasty, quick, chicken recipe with a little pizzaz! I used 6 large breasts and had just enough coating to make them with this recipe.

My 3yo loved the coating, refused the chicken. Only shock is that she tried and loved part of it. :) My oven is being finicky, so I'm going to need to play with things a bit. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

My 4 year-old said yumalicious to this one! All 4 kids and hubby asked for seconds on this dish -- so it is moving to the permanent cookbook! I pounded the chicken to about 1/2 inch thickness and cooked at 350 regular oven for 15 minutes and then on speed bake for 15 minutes and it crisped up wonderfully! Thanks Kittencal for a fabulous baked chicken!

This was SOOOO good!! I only used 6 breasts because they were large, but it still worked out very well. Family loved it -- even picky daughter! Will make over and over!
