He said it was the nicest meal anyone besides his mother had ever prepared for him when I served him this blackberry pork tenderloin on a date. I’m from southern Louisiana, so that’s a really great compliment.

Liked this recipe, exchanged a few things, though. I made a mixture of 1/4 cup of ranch dressing and 1/3 cup mayonnaise instead of melted butter for the chicken dip. Instead of bread crumbs, I used wasa crisp bread, gluten free and added the garlic to the crumbs. The mayo ensured that the bread retained its moisture. I used packaged parmesian/romano instead and added to the mixture. It was so delicious, this is the way I will continue to make it!
My husband and 3 grown sons really loved this meal! It’s one they have asked me to make again, so that means it was good. Usually we’ll have some food left over, but not with this one.
The flavor is amazing! I use sharp cheddar cheese & panko bread crumbs. Even my picky eaters love this!
We enjoyed this recipe very much! Will make it again. I did add the Pablo crumbs to the bottom of the dish as recommended by others. This was an excellent decision. Thank you everyone for the reviews!
Very tasty. My wife and I liked it.
Echo what others have said about a layer of breadcrumbs on the bottom of the pan and broil for 2 minutes before serving. Delicious!
Hubbie loved it, raved about it, wants it again. Next time I think I will add a dash of Cayenne to the breading, which, BTW, is enough that I put it together and then bagged half of it. There was enough for another casserole, which makes him very happy.
Very good! I loved it & so easy to make! Will be making it again! Thanks!
Love it
Looks pretty good. I hope it taste delicious… Will keep you updated!
It was delicious my family loved it!
This is the perfect dinner: simple, easy, and tasty. You can easily make it healthier by using milk or egg instead of butter, but I don’t recommend changing a thing. Thank you! This is going into our weekly line up.
This was a huge hit in my house, our walmart didn’t have chicken breast halves so i bought normal chicken breast and cut them in half my self. I also baked it on a drip sheet so that it didn’t cook in its juices. it wasn’t as crispy as i wanted so I popped it in the broiler for a quick second and it made it PERFECT.
The chicken came out delicious!
I’ve made this and this last time I put the ingredients in the blender to make all the ingredients finer so they would stick to the chicken, or fish better. instead of butter I use eggs. great and easy
It turned out great. I added a bit more seasoning but thats all the changes i made. One thing ill try next time is putting the oregano, parsley, pepper and salt directly onto the chicken instead of mixing it with the cheese/bread crumbs.
Absolutely amazing! I used Fiesta blend shredded cheese instead of cheddar and added a bit more seasonings. Definitely a new favorite meal. One of the kids that doesn’t usually eat more than one helping had seconds.
I make this often. Definitely not a dish for someone who is dieting. Lol. It is delicious. My family loves it. Very tasty, and pretty easy to assemble.
I thought there was too much butter. Next time I’ll cut down the amount.
This is a family favorite & my 14 year old loves making it himself. We use panko breadcrumbs & broil at the end to get a nice crust, but otherwise we keep the recipe the same!
Awesome. After dipping it in the butter and the bread crumb mix, I dipped in egg and dipped it once again in the breadcrumb mix. Also cooked it for 45 minutes instead of 1/2 an hour and cut the breasts into 4 smaller pieces. It was a hit! Hubby loved it! said it was the best chicken I ever made. The house smelled so delicious! an added bonus.
