"My family really liked this chicken and it was so easy to make. When I made it I did not use 5 pounds of chicken I used about 2 1/2 pounds. I got this recipe from Everyday Health."

This was a very delicious recipe! I used Garlic and Herb dry breadcrumbs, as this was what I had on hand. Didn't change anything else. Had this chicken with a 7 layered salad that was left over from one of our friends who brought it to share yesterday at our party. Made for a delicious meal! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
