This came out very tasty, but I did make some changes, as per some of the reviewer suggestions. I didn't have saltines, so I used Italian breadcrumbs and a real egg for the chicken. I took other reveiwers advice and cut the chicken into smaller pieces. They cooked nicely and didnt overbrown. I also love spicier food, so i added half a jalapeño to the pepper blend. While making the gravy, I added some thyme, rosemary, Greek seasoning and lots of black pepper to spice it up. I served the pepper gravy over mashed potatoes with the chicken set on top with a little parsley for garnish. Very tasty!

Good recipe, but needs spicing up. Definitely pound the chicken breasts or finish off in the microwave after browning, like I did and it turned out fine. I also used Panko breadcrumbs with lots of Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper which helped. I also recommend doubling the butter and the chicken broth/flour mixture.

I made just a couple of changes to this recipe...I used panko bread crumbs instead of crackers and real eggs instead of egg substitute. Plus I used mostly green peppers since it was all I had on hand, and I omitted onion. (Boyfriend hates onions.) Maybe it was the missing onion, but I didn't think this was that great. The pepper flavor was overwhelming to me, barely even tasted the chicken at all, and the broth/flour sauce stuff that it was sauteed in just didn't taste all that good. i made it as written except for the subtle changes so I'm not sure what was missing...maybe I just don't like bell peppers enough to warrant the excess of flavor in the dish. It wasn't awful just not great.

The dish turned out ok, with a few changes. It doesn't say to season the veggies, and I forgot but they tasted yummy w/o. I used bread crumbs mixed w/ italian herbs and Vegeta seasoning. I just added a bit of sauce on top of the peppers. The sauce needs some more seasoning this way though. I served it with quinoa.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I adjusted the recipe to be a little less healthy. :) I used an egg instead of the egg substitute and a lot of extra butter when cooking. I also substituted Italian bread crumbs for the saltine crackers and Italian seasoning.

This is really good, but only if you actually use about 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter. 1 1/2 tbl does not do the job.

I was very very dissapointed with this recipe. I enountered two problems with this recipe. The first problem I encountered was that this recipe did not provide adequate time to fully cook the chicken. Simply browning the chicken leaves it raw. The second problem is that fully cooking the chicken will cause the breading to burn. My solution was to follow the recipe as written, but then add all the ingredients together and simmer them on low heat covered for 5 minutes. This allowed the chicken to cook throughly. The flavour was alright, but it did not taste good the next day and since I live alone I like being able to enjoy the leftovers.

My husband and I really liked this recipe. I too used seasoned bread crumbs (because that is what I had), and I added more seasoning to both the bread crumbs and the gravy. I also had to add extra butter, but overall we thought it was great and I will make it again! Thanks Shirl!

This is a tasty chicken dish that is great for a family meal, but I wouldn't serve it to company. It's quick and easy to prepare, but does require some tweaking. I used 2 chicken breasts but doubled all the other ingredients. I didn't have saltines so used bread crumbs mixed with a heaping teaspoon each of basil and oregano, 1/2 teaspoon each of seasoned salt and garlic powder. I also added 1/2 cup dry white wine to the sauce. I had to add more butter when browning the chicken. I'll definitely make this again as we enjoyed it.
