  1. I made this without the potatoes because my DH bought a ton of chicken on sale and I had leftover potatoes I needed to use up. So I just put all the ingredients on the chicken (except the wine which goes in the pan). We are both glad that I made a big pan full because it was delicious and moist. Will make it again with the potatoes using extra bread crumbs and cheese on the chicken. A keeper!
     
  2. Just o.k. Mine came out dry. I guess I should have added water/broth while baking but I wanted to put it in the oven and forget it. Also, I used broth rather than wine. I will probably not make this again. At least not without some major tweaking. But the idea behind this recipe seemed good.
     
  3. I used breast fillet for this one, and I sprinkled the breadcrumbs and cheese over both chicken and potatoes. Ialso used edam instead of parmesan. Since I only have a toaster oven, I had to estimate the temperature and time. The chicken came out nice and moist, and both that and the potatoes were flavorful. What I love most about this recipe though is that I just toss everything into the top, shove in into the oven and take it out when it's done. Easy!
     
  4. I did this one with the roaster covered. Probably a mistake, because the concensus is that it shouldn't have been. The chicken was very good, but the bread crumbs only dried out the potatoes. Next time I won't cover it, and see what happens. It was easy and quick. Thanks.
     
  5. This wasn't very good. The potatoes were very dry and the chicken wasn't anything special. I wouldn't make this again.

I'm a "newbee" to this site, but not to cooking. I love great food and to share recipes and this site is great! I don't know where the information of a "fry cook" came from, but I would consider myself anything else but that :) A NYC girl originally, lived in London and Canada where I am now. Met lots of interesting people along life's way who taught me a great deal and enriched my life with their knowledge of cooking. With my children now adults, the family has doubled in size and my commitment to making memories to pass down to another generation inspires me to cooking. I find cooking a creative expression of one's personality and never tire of new challenges in the kitchen.
