“I threw this recipe together one night when I had two chicken breasts to use up. After adding french-fried onions and baked-on barbecue sauce, I was thrilled with how moist and tasty it turned out. My husband was, too!” Jane Holey - Clayton, Michigan

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.

I honestly cannot believe how amazing this recipe is! So simple, inexpensive and quick! The French-fried onions and barbecue sauce create a carmelized sauce that is unique and tasty! I will definitely make this again.

This is one of my favorites! It is easy to make, very flavorful and extremely moist! I use tenders instead of large breasts and this makes it even easier!

I rated this 3 stars because my husband liked it. My children and I did not. The tastes together were weird to me..maybe because i used honey bbq sauce?? It also took an hour to cook..but they were big breasts...since I usually eat the leftovers being a stay at home mom, I prob. won' t make it again.

I made this chicken for my 2nd time tonight & it is absolutely wonderful. My husband normally complains about the "healthy" food that I make, but he loved this...and didn't even know it was low in fat and calories. I always have a lb. of fresh parmesan on hand, so I grated my own & it came out delicious.
