This recipe is a keeper! I was looking for a simple Sunday night meal and this fit the description perfectly. The cooking time did need to be increased by at least five minutes. I would highly recommend serving this chicken with mashed potatoes :)

I made this recipe tonight after searching for recipe that did NOT involve bread crumps because I didn't feel like going out to the store. This was really good and it was light verses the heavy breadings of the some of the recipes that I have tried before. I did use some oregano and parsley mixed in with the flour mixture and seasoned my chicken with a little sea salt. I will certainly make this recipe again.

Good recipe. We made it for 4 people, and the baking time could probably be a bit longer. We baked it for an extra 5 minutes, and maybe even longer than that. It probably depends on your oven, but just thought I'd mention our experience. Other than that, I thought that this was pretty good!

This is a great way to change up chicken cutlets. I thoroughly enjoyed them as did my husband. This went great with the Parmesan Noodle side dish.

Excellant.

This is a "two thumbs up" recipe. I went by the instructions but our chicken breasts were a little larger than the recipe called for. Didn't matter - they were wonderful.

A definite keeper.

I make this for my husband and me quite often. It is very tasty and the chicken stays juicy and tender on the inside. Could easily increase this to serve 4.
