Picnic Chicken Recipe

Reviewed on Mar. 21, 2013 by lodgebaker

Excellent spice combination. I made with chicken breasts and to reduce calories, I did not use butter, I placed chicken on a foil lined pan greased with olive oil. Turned out crispy and delicious .

I have made this 4 times in the past 3 weeks. It's so popular with me and my kids! I cut the bread crumbs in half and use parmesan cheese in place of the other half. Delicious! I've never yet made it to the dip because it's so great fresh out of the oven.

This is a great alternative to frying! The chicken is very tasty, crunchy and juicy! I make this for dinner and serve it hot. We always have leftovers and eat them cold the next day with the leek dip. Very yummy!

If I may ask a favor, PLEASE do not rate a recipe UNLESS you have prepared it. I find it very difficult to judge a recipe, and to look for other taste tips, when so many have rated and reviewed a recipe they have yet to prepare. It would really help those of us who are going to prepare the recipe if only those who comment have actually cooked it. Thanks much!

I used panko instead of bread crumbs-don't do that. Texture was all wrong but man was the flavor good! Also only cooked 45 minutes to 165-that's the new acceptable temp for poultry per CDC and it's soooo much juicier than 180 degrees:)

This a great recipe. I have made it for fome and potluck dinners. With and without the Leek Dip. I have used it for my family and for friends over for dinner. I have had nothing but raves of how good it is and can I have the recipe. Thanks for all the good recipes you put on line for us not so great cooks and the experts.

This chicken was fabulous - I prepared 2 packages of whole chicken parts. I served one chicken for dinner and saved the other to refrigerate and taste cold the next day as a picnic dinner out on the patio. Delicious hot and cold! I also have to chime in about people giving low ratings because the ingredients don't come up to their particular eating issues - PLEASE STOP THAT! I come here to read the actual cooking experiences of real cooks that actually take the time to study a recipe and then make it.

Sounds heavenly, but if I couldn't eat it I would just not make it. And move on to a recipe that I could eat. No point in carrying on about itl

Thank you for the info to get the nutiton data for recipies. I have to have this for health reasons and often by pass a recipe because I don't have time to figure it out.

I get amused at the ones that go on about too much of something in recipes. Cut it down or leave it out! If it something major find a sub. Does anyone know of a sub for cream cheese? I don't care for yougert so that isn't a good sub. I alleragic to the sulfa in cream cheese.

I make baked chicken by dipping it in beaten egg with a little water , then into crushed rice krispy or corn flake cereal. put on sprayed foil on cookie sheet, season with Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper or seasoned salt or you choice of seasonings. and bake until done. 45 to 60 minutes at 350. I also do this with minute or cubed steak for chicken fried steak.

Wonderful...I have already made it several times and passed the recipe along to others. I do have one change...if you use salted butter in the pans, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the dry mixture. VERY good and easy!

Because of my multiple health issues I do require a knowledge of nutrition. I use www.caloriecount.about.com to get the nutrition on recipes that do not come with it. This recipe I can tell just be reading the ingredients I cannot use it. I would have to make so many substitutions that it would look like a different recipe. I cannot use bread crumbs due to the carb count.. it is too high for me. Plus, this is high in fat with butter, heavy whipping cream, yogurt and cheese... so I cannot use it for heart related conditions. I am including the nutrition I found at calorie count. Wishing all of you good health!

I honestly don't mean this the wrong way but any recipe can be reduced to help someone eat healthy. I have heart disease and have done it to many recipes. Just reduce the amount of butter used. or spray the chicken with butter flavor Pam and add a little butter for taste. I agree that it is wrong to find fault with every recipe that you review. My answer to those people. Don't review. We don't need or want your opinion. as far as asking for the calorie count, some people seriously do need to know this before cooking something, either for weigh loss or health reasons. After having heart disease for many years and having open heart surgery I can figure that out for myself but some people need to know this beforehand. thanks for listening.

This was the best chicken I've ever made or tasted. Stupendous. By far tons better than anything KFC, any other fast food/junk food place, even my old beloved Chick-fil-a. Perfect for those like me that prefer home cooking over chemical stuffed deceptive restaurant 'food products'. I must thank the contributor for these instructions I followed that enabled me to make a great dinner

This recipe is amazing delicious! and so easy to make! my boyfriend bought the whipped cream in a tin can and it still tasted really good, we even ate the dip with some potato chips! if chicken wasn't so expensive i'd make this for every potluck!

Delicious crispy chicken served hot. I'll add a bit more salt to the bread crumbs next time - especially if I don't use the dipping sauce. I made extra chicken to eat cold tomorrow. The dip is great with hot chicken, too. Next time I'll try using just yogurt instead of using the whipped whipping cream, since I'm not crazy about the frothy texture.

Great recipe! Everybody liked it!

Great Recipe. Everyone who had it loved it and that's alot since the recipe makes so much. I did skin the chicken and used Herbs De Provence instead of the three separate herbs called for. Definite keeper and a great make ahead recipe. Reheats perfectly! Will make again and again. Thanks
