Wow, can't beat this. I used to make it from fresh chicken breasts that I cut off the rib meat with skin. Very hard to make. The boneless breasts are easy to flatten, and fold so much easier. Sams club frozen breasts work best for me. Just outstanding.

Definitely a keeper. Even though I didn't get it thin enough, I cooked a little longer & it was done. A tip for the final step. I find if I put the crumbs in a shaker with large holes & shake it on, you don't have the crumbs clumping.

I made this last night and my fiance and I were very pleased it came out perfect. I will be making this again. I didn't have seasoned bread crumbs so I used panko crumbs.

I love this recipe. They taste wonderful. One busy day, I made the rolls early in the day and put them in the refrigerator. Just added additional time when I baked them at dinner.

This is my go to recipe. The only extra thing I do to it is add a can of cream of chicken when adding it to the oven.

I made this recipe for my husband on Valentine's day and he absolutely loved it. He had to hide it from our children to make sure they didn't eat it!

I made this last night for Valentine's Day and it was awesome! I only used 1 slice of cheese though b/c I couldn't fit two slices in. The flavor was great and hubby loved it! I will be making this again!
