This was awesome as others are stating. I put some sauce on the bottom of baking dish, added chicken and topped with more sauce and a combo of prov and mozz. Used seasoned panko. Simple and delish. Love me some Italian food!

This was good and easy to make. I made this for my husband for Father's Day as he loved chicken parmesan. I followed the recipe except that I used pam instead of butter in the pan. I also did this all on the stove as I didn't feel like heating up the oven. I also used sliced mozzarella cheese instead of shredded as that is what I had on hand. We all enjoyed this but my husband thought the coating needed a bit more seasoning. He said it needed some pepper and maybe some garlic powder.

this was really really easy and quick. I didnt have Italian breadcrumbs, only plain - so I seasoned it myself w/italian seasoning and garlic. I live on egg substitute and it worked fine for the eggwash. I just used jar sauce, un-doctored, and it was sufficient. Served atop tri colored pasta with some steamed italian green beans added in the pasta for some green. Also served with an italian salad. I also thought, to make it quicker, I might whip up a batch of the crumb/parm cheese mix and store in an airtight container for quick weeknight use. Thanks for the submission!

This was excellent!!! I used a parmesan and romano blend and also used Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic sauce. I did not have any mozzarella Cheese for the top but I used extra sharp cheddar and it tasted fabulous... Thanks for this recipe I have made it twice already... ;)
