I've been using this recipe (with a slight variation) for many years. Instead of frying, I bake it in the oven. Melting the butter and adding it to the breadcrumbs BEFORE you bread the chicken helps make the coating crispy in the oven. I also vary the spices depending on what I'm serving...sometimes more thyme, basil, oregano, garlic. Bake for 30 minutes or so, at 375. Always very good, tender, and juicy. Also makes good chicken strips and nuggets.

Besides adding a little garlic salt and white pepper, I did everything else just as the recipe called for. Very simple and great tasting. My husband and son loved it. Will keep in recipe box.

I mixed oregano, parsley, and basil in the breadcrumb\cheese mixture. I took suggestions from others and placed some spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish and baked covered with cheese. I served with spaghetti and French bread. It was delicious. Thanks for sharing.
