Yum! I had one humongous chicken breast so that was the only piece that I made. The directions didn't say where to coat the chicken with the flour, so I did that after it soaked in the milk. This was really good. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Loved the gravy with the mushrooms and scallions over mashed potatoes too. Thanks Sudie for a great keeper.
