    Really good. I made this for dinner last night. Instead of pan frying the chicken I baked it in the over at 375 for 20 minutes, turning in between. I also used more sauce than was called for. It was delicious and I would make again - 11/1/10

    This was awesome. Hubby and kids loved it as well. Omitted the olive oil and baked the chicken at 350 for 15 minutes on a "Pam'd" cookie sheet. I haven't really fried anything since starting Spark. I wonder how many calories I saved by not using oil... - 6/2/10

    I cut the sodium a little by just using garlic pwdr. Parm cheese is pretty salty itself. I also broiled the chic instead of frying it. Very good! LARGE serving. Was very full w/ just 1 serving and some cantaloupe. - 4/22/10

    Exellent! In my version I used egg whites/fat free milk for the wash, added Italian seasoning to the crumbs, and eliminated the oil by putting the chicken chunks on a cookie sheet, spraying lightly with Pam and baking. I also added more sauce after reading reviews. Great recipe!! - 10/26/09

    Super delicious!! I also agree with more sauce. I omitted the milk and eggs and just shook the chicken with the bread crumbs and spices. I baked the chicken first at 375 for 10 minutes a side. I also added more sauce - I used the reduced calorie Prego. Topped it off with some basil and parsley. - 11/6/12

    This was absolutely satisfying and delicious. My whole family loved it and wanted more. Breading the chicken cubes was a little fussy but well worth the effort. The sauce called for is 1 pound 10 oz. jar. It was plenty. I did add herbs to the plain bread crumbs but followed the recipe as listed - 9/14/12

We used 24 oz of sauce and it was no way too much. I am sure the 10 ounces it calls for has to be invisible! Use MORE! :) Hope you enjoy. - 2/7/12

It was great and using the 2 cans of sauce made it so moist. My grandson wanted the recipe and he's 10. I will make again!! - 8/21/11
