A rich, cheesy coating locks in this chicken's natural juices, making it moist and delicious every time. Because it can be made in advance, I rely on it often during the week and when entertaining.

Don't use fresh breadcrumbs!! Made the recipe according to the directions. I used soft (fresh) bread crumbs and the coating just clumped up, and had to be pressed onto the chicken. After reading the reviews, I see people are using prepared crumbs. We really liked the flavor, so I'll give it another try with the dry breadcrumbs.

I saw someone said they pounded out the chicken for this recipe. Can you also just cut chicken breasts in half to thin them out? I don't think 15 min is an adequate time to cook this. How long have you all baked this recipe for? Does it burn the coating? Thanks!

Super easy to make! My little family loved it. I had to sub the grated parmesan from the can. Still tasted great`

Yum. It does need to cook more that 15 minutes. I ended up with way too much coating and ended up throwing a bunch away. When I make again I can half the cheese and bread crumbs.

Easy and quick to make. I thought that the Dijon would be overpowering but just a touch of Dijon taste, just right for me. . The family loved it!

I work 12 hour shifts so I loved this recipe because the cooking and prep time was perfect for making dinner after a long day. I used honey mustard instead of Dijon and it was perfectly moist and juicy and full of flavor, definitely one I will make again and again!

I just got done making this for supper. I also used seasoned bread crumbs and I substituted real mayo for the mustard. The recipe didn't call for it, but I greased the bottom of my baking dish and melted a slice of Parmesan cheese on top at the end. It turned out very moist and delicious and has been added to my Recipe Box! (And I don't normally like "white meat"!) I served it with Angel Hair pasta and Garden Vegi spaghetti sauce.Note to kcarter78: I would check to make sure your oven temp isn't off (mine is off by 50 degrees so I adjust accordingly), and if you have a convection oven, I hear that also changes the cooking time. If it's neither of these things, make sure you are using boneless chicken breasts that are 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.

I am a picky eater but this was pretty good. My Honey and daughter took one bite and exclaimed, "This is really good!" It's so easy which makes it a big hit with me.

I also use Italian Bread Crumbs and add a bit of garlic salt or powder to the crumbs.

awesome combination! the only thing I did differently was to pound out the chicken - that way it cooked quickly...

only 15 minutes?? did i do something wrong because i have cooked it for 25 and the crumbs are going to burn before the chicken is done.
