Simple, yet delicious! It was a little crunchy, but very moist and tender. I added chopped fresh basil to the breading, as I had some to use up and I hoped it would compliment the chicken. I was right! It was very good! I also used breasts, as that is what I had on hand! Thanks so much for sharing, SuzV!

This is a very flavorful and easy baked chicken. We eat a lot of baked chicken since it is a good chicken nugget compromise for my boys and it is also DH favorite. Made with b/s thighs since we prefer the dark meat. Will make again!! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

This was a very delicious chicken dish, and it was so simple to prepare, too. I served Recipe #409658 with it as a side dish, and it was a wonderful meal. The breading produces a wonderful coating that produces such tasty and moist chicken breasts. It was delicious. Thanks for sharing, SuzV, we will definitely have this again.

I accidentally did this differently. Instead of using the 1/4 cup milk to dip the chicken breast in, I put a bit of milk in a small dish and wet the chicken before dredging it in the crumb/salt/red pepper/parm. cheese mixture. I lined a 9" pan (I only used 4 breasts) with foil, brushed a bit of oil on the foil, placed the chicken, then put that 1/4 cup milk in with the melted butter and garlic and poured it over the chicken. I then sprinkled fresh cilantro over the top with the paprika. It made a nice little sauce to spoon over the chicken. My hubby told me twice it was really good. I liked it, too, for something different. Easy to clean up! Had it with baked potato, glazed carrots and a salad. Donna in Montana

This was delicious! I only used 2 chicken breasts and it worked just fine, cutting the other ingredients down. Very good! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag Game 2010.
