This is GREAT chicken! It was moist and juicy and the breading was crispy and delicious. I would add a little more garlic to the breadin mix next time but overall AWESOME!

I just loved this recipe.I usually dont bake my chicken because I usually buy boneless,skinless chicken breasts and I find it to dry,but this was not the case.They were perfect,juicy and with just a hint of lemon.....mmmmm....I did everything the recipe said and I served it with white rice and soy sauce!Thanks for the wonderful recipe!~!
