Very enjoyable. I used shredded parmesan so had to add it at the end, which wasn't a bad thing. I think this would also be good sauteed. Thanks for the recipe.

We enjoyed this chicken. Next time I make it I will make a little more butter mixture as there didn't seem to be enough for basting. The flavor was good. Thank you for sharing!
