This is a great recipe. Many times I have some rice left over from dinner, and since this recipe only uses 1 1/2 cups, it's a good way to use it up. This was a simple, delicious recipe that I will definitely use again.

This was pretty good. The chicken comes out nice and crispy. Sort of like a homemade Shake-n-Bake mix. I used olive oil as well and not butter, to make this healthier but also because I have olive oil in a mister bottle so it was easier to just mist the chicken. I do think the mix could use a little more flavor for my tastes, maybe some cayenne, white pepper, and a few other seasonings. Over all very good recipe.

Used olive oil instead of butter, very crisp, juicy, kids and hubby enjoyed, will make again.
