This chicken is moist and saucy with great Parmesan flavor. Whenever I take it to a potluck, it disappears quickly and people often request the recipe.—Cara Flora, Kokomo, Indiana

Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

Was delighted to find a simple chicken breast recipe that was fast and high rated, but did not love it. The overall flavor of the topping was pretty strong, and pretty much overrode the flavor of the chicken. I didn't have fat free mayo, and used canola mayo instead. Maybe fat free mayo is much more bland, but again the oregano and parmesan were also pretty strong. It was okay, not too bad, but I wouldn't make it again. I like food that has flavors that compliment each other and delight the senses. This pretty much just overrode them.

I have made this recipe MANY times! My boyfriend used to be a chef and he loves it! It's an impressive dish, especially for being so low in calories. It's also great that it uses ingredients that are almost always on hand! Thanks!
