This chicken was really delicious! The bread crumbs added so much flavor to the chicken. I used my own sauce and this turned out so well. I will make it many more times. Glad I found it!

Beginner recipes are always winners, aren't they? A cook can begin with one version and change it over time and with experience to another version tailored to the family or the occasion. This is certainly a winner, Kitten, full of moist, tender bites of chicken in a light tomato sauce brightened with Italian seasonings. We served it with a small side of thin spaghetti and a green vegetable and loved every bite.
