"Easy breezy recipe. Another simple, few ingredient recipe that my chicken hating husband will eat! I love this during the week because it's so quick to prepare. Especially after a long day at work."

This really was easy to make! This was my first time making chicken breaded, in the oven and it worked out well. I knew it would be a bit soggy on the bottom, but we don't have a rack to put the chicken on. I cut the chicken into strips, and it still worked out great! Thanks!

easy to make and tasty. Same problem the others had with a soggy bottom crust. I think i'll have to try craftylady's suggestion of bone in chicken breasts to see if that solves the problem because otherwise this dish was very nice!

Super easy recipe with nice results. I used the dried bread crumbs as indicated but if I were to make this again I would use fresh bread crumbs. The chicken was moist and tender and had a sweet edge. The crust was a bit dry. Our breasts were done in 20 minutes. Lovely recipe! Zaar World Tour 4. Whine and Cheese.

What an easy and tasty way to make baked chicken. I used a bone-in chicken breast with skin. I didn't change a thing with this recipe. The chicken was moist and tender with a slightly sweet taste. I didn't have a problem with the bottom being soggy. I think it was because I used a bone-in chicken and baked it with the ribbed side down. The whole chicken breast came out perfectly with a nice crunching topping. Thanks for sharing a great recipe. Made for ZWT4 Family Picks.
