    Used light Zesty Italian dressing instead of egg white to dip chicken in before dipping in bread crumbs. - 9/20/11

    This was simple and quick, not to mention it tasted fabulous! Added some lowfat mozzarella and broiled it until bubbly. Served with some spaghetti on the side and some italian bread. The family loved it, thanks - 11/14/09

    This is very delicious. To kick it up I marinated the chicken cutlets for 3 to 4 hours in a little bit of fat free italian dressing with fresh ground italian herbs sprinkled on both sides. I jazzed up the marinara sauce with sauteed zucchini, green pepper and fresh basil. Scrumptious!! - 8/10/08
