this is going in our "favourites"! so good! I mixed the spaghetti sauce with the Italian salad dressing and then dipped it in the crumb mixture, just to keep the crumbs "crumby"....and I also browned the chicken about 4 minutes a side before putting it in the oven. Can't wait to have the leftovers! p.s. the guests LOVED it also! this is a gourmet dish without the gourmet work!
