This is excellent! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe. It is the best way I have had chicken. What's more - I had all the ingredients in, so it's cheapish too. I used plain bread crumbs, a small yellow onion (most common here in UK) and a garlic clove. It went really nice with the spinach. I had it with rice and salad too because I have massive appetite! Superb, thank you.

THE BEST CHICKEN EVER!! This recipe I was really excited to try. I tried it out and my fiance' was ecstatic and really commended me for making this. I'm new to trying new recipe's and cooking every day, but this chicken was amazing. It has the best flavoring and was juicy. The leftovers didn't last long!

Very tasty and delicious! I served this dish with some butter & parsley rice. I modified the recipe to include the step of dipping the chicken into a beaten egg before coating in crumb mixture.

I had a horrible time getting the bread crumbs to stick to the chicken....The only thing they stuck to was the bottom of the pan. I agree with the other subscriber that there needs to be some sort of egg mixture before the bread crumbs. A complete mess!

I really liked the flavor of this recipe. With that said I had some difficulty. The bread crumbs didn't really stick to my chicken (felt like i needed maybe a flour dip, then egg dip, then the panko/almond) so I didn't get the nice pretty crunchy chicken pictured. It also took longer to cook than I expected. My sauce also never seemed to thicken. I'm not a fan of rosemary so I'll likely leave it out next time. I'm guessing my problems were more 'chef issues' than recipe issues so I'll try it again b/c the flavor of the sauce was awesome.
