Really, really super good!!!!

This recipe is really easy to make and turned out GREAT!!!

The instructions worked just perfectly, and soon we had delicious, perfctly-seasoned Chicken Parmesan sitting on our plates! We both agreed that this recipe deserves a "10" and that we WILL be having it again!!

The one thing I did differently, was leave the chicken breast whole instead of cutting into strips like the recipe says. I actually just forgot to cut it, but it still was delicious! 

I made my own breadcrumbs for this.

First, I toasted 3 slices of whole-grain bread, I tore the toast into small pieces and put them on a cookie sheet. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees and put the sheet of toast in to bake.

As soon as I put the toast in, I turned down the oven to 300 degrees. I baked the crumbs for about 25 minutes, until they were dry but NOT burned, of course!! ;)

I took out the sheet, let them cool, and crumbled them with a potato masher. It made very fine crumbs and worked just great. :)

This recipe is so easy and tasty! I think it's a lot better then Chicken Parmesan from a resturant. I have made it multipe different times, and each time it comes out well and gets lots of compliments.
