Wonderful! I cut the recipe in half and followed it except for adding some fresh chopped rosemary to the sauce for more flavor. Next time I might add some red pepper flakes also to the sauce for a little zing. The chicken turned out moist and the dish was totally a success. Servied over Spanish Rice#417786 and Hash Browns Replacement - Vegetables#316024. Made for Fall PAC 2011.

I liked this. The sauce wasn't exciting, but it was a good, basic back-up for the chicken. The chicken was interesting, the temptation to coat one more layer - of bread crumbs - over the eggs was resisted, and I ended up with a pleasant surprise. The fresh rosemary is key. I will make this one again, and try zipping the sauce up. Thanks for sharing this, ervigile!
