    It was quite delicious though the only problems were that the breeding was still really powdery when I took it out, it took 45 minutes instead of 20-25, and the cheese didn't really stay inside the chicken. Overall though I just scooped some of the cheese that oozed out from the pan and put it back - 2/29/16

    It was very good, but needed a little more flavor in the chicken. (not too sure exactly what to add, but it needs something). Make sure that you don't over-coat the chicken in the flour mixture- I would recommend dipping it in the flour mixture before stuffing it. - 2/11/10

    I enjoyed this recipe, my husband not so much. The baking time for the chicken was a lot longer for me than the recipe stated. I added some tomato sauce for added flavor. I might make it again, but will probably tweak a few things next time. - 2/1/09

    Had this for dinner the other night with someone else recipe for italian baked potatoes and it was very good. the parmesan crust is excellent. I added a little pasta sauce to the chicken for an extra shot of flavor. - 6/19/07
