Instead of using butter in the frying pan, I sprayed a non-stickl cooking spray in a glass casserole dish and baked me chicken. I baked it at 350 degrees, 20 mins covered. Then I added the sauce and cheese and baked it 20 mins more uncovered. It turned out amazing!! Definately making again! - 2/24/09

Too much sodium & fat from sauce & butter. Lighter version: use home-made or low-sodium sauce & low fat cheeses, & bake in oven with non-stick butter flavored cooking spray, browning on both sides before adding sauce and cheese. Skip egg & bread crumbs & use spice rub to lower carb count as well. - 11/24/08

I make something similar but less cals. I use about a cup of breadcrumbs, some onion powder, some garlic salt, italian seasoning mix and a couple tablespoons of parm cheese. Mix all together. In the past I used olive oil to coat the chicken, found you can skip it still sticks. Cook on George Forman - 6/3/08

Great recipe!!! I used Butterfly's suggestions, but I had to cook it an additional 10 minutes. Next time I will cool it for 30 mintues, add the sauce and cheese, and cook it an additional 20 minutes. I seasoned my chicken before adding the bread crumbs. Overall, very good. My family loved it!!!! - 7/28/09

Cut sodium by making your own spaghetti sauce with fresh tomatoes, diced, and spices. Lower fat by using FF or RF cheese and don't bother to breadcrumb the chicken: in the sauce, with all that cheese, you won't miss a few breadcrumbs, but if you insist, then use egg substitute and Fiber 1 cereal. - 5/28/08

This recipe is delicious and so easy to make. I used olive oil instead of butter and didn't have any mozzarella cheese so made it with 1/2 c. real grated parmesan and 1 T. shredded sharp cheddar. I'm sure it would have been good with the mozzarella but this turned out great. It really is 20 min! - 7/27/09

I to didn't fry it, baked it. I didn't use egg. Just sprayed a little pam and dregged the chicken in homemade spiced bread crumbs. Made my own sauce added mushrooms, peppers and zuchinni put the sauce on when chicken was about done then cheese the last five minutes. Delicious and a keeper! - 7/25/09

instead of dipping the chicken in egg, I marinate my chicken for 6 hrs or overnight in low fat buttermilk before I dip it into a bread mixture. The buttermilk REALLY makes the chicken tender and it will NOT dry out when cooking. Also, to cut down on calories, use a low fat cheese. YUMMY!!! - 4/11/10

This is a very basic recipe. I made it healthier.I do my best to eat healthy and avoid fried foods unless using olive oil or spray olive oil. Avoid butter and trans fats. Use reduced fat mozzarella. Baking is better. Try to use whole grain bread crumbs or mix 1/2 white/WW bread. Egg white only. - 8/30/09

Instead of covering I placed it in the oven and after a while placed the cheese on it . I was concerned it would be to moist. Didn't have the crunch good parmesan chick has , but it was quick , I had the ingredients on hand and the family loved it. I have made it more then once and will continue. - 8/5/09

I make this all the time, but bake it in the oven at 400 on a lightly buttered cookie sheet; turn over after 10 minutes; spoon on SALSA...just on the chicken; bake 10 more minutes and top with mozzarrella slices for the last 30 seconds. Eat less,pound the breasts and then cut them into smaller piece - 10/24/09
