My family absolutely loves this recipe I've made it 3 times already. More garlic is good but too much lemon juice is over doing it.

This recipe was excellent! My husband usually doesnt like boneless chicken breast because it can get dried out but this was moist and flavorful! I would totally make it again!

Excellent! I soak my chicken in buttermilk for a few hours prior, makes the chicken extra moist. Then just pull the chicken out of the buttermilk and shake in the bread crumb mixture.

I do not know what it is but the garlic seems to make the chicken moist. I have another chicken/garlic recipe that is also moist. This is easy and we love the flavor. I always have a jar of minced garlic in the frig. and I used 2 t.

I've been making this recipe for years and years! One of my family's favorites! The only thing I do differently from the way the recipe is written is to add double the amount of garlic called for.
