This is absolutely the best recipe ever! I have made it a lot of times and it comes out so super moist every time! The only thing I usually do different is I season the chicken first with Montreal Chicken seasoning.

Super easy and quick. I also used grated Parmesan and it turned out great. Very flavorful!

As a single guy, I'm always looking for quick and easy meals. This is a breeze to make and very tasty. Only changes I made were to mix some plain bread crumbs in with the flour, and added a little thyme. Didn't have shredded parm so I used grated instead-but next time I'll use shredded. Will definitely be making this often - thanks for sharing.

I made this tonight and it was delish...had a friend over and she said it was like eating at a restraunt! We added mozzarella cheese and a little garlic salt right before we put the chicken in the oven,also we used chicken breast but the chicken was so juicy! Will make again for sure!

Great recipe, we loved it. I added a little Italian seasoning mix to the flour. I also made some Alfredo sauce and angel hair pasta to go with it and it was a perfect combination with the chicken. We also had salad to round out the meal. We will definitely make this again.

This recipe is a keeper! I was looking for a simple Sunday night meal and this fit the description perfectly. The cooking time did need to be increased by at least five minutes. I would highly recommend serving this chicken with mashed potatoes.

I made this recipe tonight after searching for recipe that did NOT involve bread crumps because I didn't feel like going out to the store. This was really good and it was light verses the heavy breadings of the some of the recipes that I have tried before. I did use some oregano and parsley mixed in with the flour mixture and seasoned my chicken with a little sea salt. I will certainly make this recipe again.

Good recipe. We made it for 4 people, and the baking time could probably be a bit longer. We baked it for an extra 5 minutes, and maybe even longer than that. It probably depends on your oven, but just thought I'd mention our experience. Other than that, I thought that this was pretty good!

This is a great way to change up chicken cutlets. I thoroughly enjoyed them as did my husband. This went great with the Parmesan Noodle side dish.

Excellent!!!


This is a "two thumbs up" recipe. I went by the instructions but our chicken breasts were a little larger than the recipe called for. Didn't matter - they were wonderful.

A definite keeper.

I make this for my husband and me quite often. It is very tasty and the chicken stays juicy and tender on the inside. Could easily increase this to serve 4.
