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.

I couldn't find the bread, so I just crumbled up some regular bread and used that.It was delicious, it's my new favorite way to have chicken. I had to work hard to save it for leftovers, but I was glad I did so I could have it again the next day. It's good cold too!

We ABSOLUTELY loved this. I halved it, but made the same amount of sauce...So glad I did because it was just enough. I used onions instead of shallots. Was amazing, and I can't wait to make it again!

This was so yummy.Instead of using strawberry preserves since I had just gone strawberry picking a few weeks ago, I substituted a reduction sauce using 1 1/2 c Frozen Strawberries (Sliced and Thawed), 1/2 c Sugar, 1 Tbsp Lime Juice and cooked it at medium heat until it thickened about 10 minutes. The fresh flavor made it that much more yummy. Everyone was finger-licking the sauce from their plate.Will definitely make this again. It was a hit.
