The last of my picks for "Pick Your Chef". Made these and used them for chicken sandwiches. They were easy to make, and the different seasonings gave them a really good flavor. The chicken stayed moist too. Served them on a sesame seed hamburger bun with sliced mozzarella and some marinara sauce...made a great chicken parmigiana sandwich!! YUM! I'll definitely make these again!

My mom made these for my brother and I as kids and now I make this for my kids! We all LOVE this recipe! So flavorful, so mouthwatering! It is one thing my kids can agree on.

This is a great recipe. Simple and very tasty. Nice crisp flavorful crust and chicken stays very moist. I use these cutlets with several of my recipes. They are wonderful with Chicken Parmesan.

This was really good. I'm always looking for ways to cook chicken breast for a quick dinner when I'm feeling lazy. I made this with cheesy mashed potatoes and broccoli and it was yum! I didn't have any leftovers but next time I'll make extras for a nice bagel sandwich!
