Reviews
I was surprised how much I liked this! I sprinkled the chicken with garlic salt before I dipped it in the egg, which added to the flavor. I spayed the pan with cooking oil, and it didn’t stick to the pan and wasn’t real soggy on the bottom. The chicken I normally make like this calls for drizzling butter over the top. I stuck to the recipe and didn’t add any butter. It was juicy and tender without the added calories. The only complaint I had was that I had a lot of topping left over, but no big deal. Thanks for the great, easy recipe that my kids and I liked.
Really good, I use fresh Parmesan though.
I had a ton of leftover crumbs and I think with less, I would have tasted the Parmesan and sesame more. Good classic recipe though.
Very easy and fast to prepare. As others suggested I reduced the bread crumbs and increased the parmesan and melted some butter in the pan. I also added garlic powder, salt and pepper, and toasted the sesame seeds before adding them.
This was good, but flavor is quite mild. I used thighs and added some sesame oil to beaten egg. Next time try toasting the sesame seeds, and instead of adding sesame oil, try searing chicken in sesame oil and then baking. 2/3’s cup of crumbs is plenty for 4 pieces.
Sometimes if I have it on hand I’ll add in some Asiago or mozzarella cheese to the breading mixture. I toast the sesame seeds in our toaster oven too. I also like to double bread these… I spray my baking dish with some non-stick spray & drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken before baking. It comes out delicious and crispy every time! I think this is my favorite recipe for breaded chicken!
This is a very good, very simple recipe and will become one of my new go-to recipes if pressed for time!
I used Progresso Garlic & Herb breadcrumbs and doubled the Parmesan cheese. Yummy! I fixed extra and my husband who never packs his lunch took the leftovers to the office for his lunch. This easy recipe will now be a regular dish in our house.
I added equal parts bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and they turned out great! I would have to say they need some kind of sauce to go with them though.
Without a doubt, the BEST way to serve chicken. Excellent!!
This was very good. I cut up the chicken into strips. It was very tasty and super easy.
very good.. I added more Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds and added Chinese Five-Spice. I had to cook it at 400 and for 45 minutes because the chicken cutlets I used were huge.
very good.. did what everyone else did, less bread cumbs and more parmesan
This went over well with my girls, one of whom gets “sick of” eating chicken. To add a little additional sesame flavor, I added a couple of drops of sesame oil to the eggs—very tasty!!
This was OK. No bells and whistles. Very simple. I too melted some butter in the dish and had no problem with sticking. I increased the parmesan cheese for more flavor.
Very moist. To be honest I thought I would come out a bit dry but I was wrong it was moist and tender. I had a lot of bread crumb mix left over so I will use it again.
Super easy ! I made the following substitutions (because that’s what I had on hand): basil & tomato flavored crumbled feta (instead of the Parmesan), crushed Italian-seasoned croutons (instead of plain bread crumbs). Plus I added a dash of garlic powder to taste. Also, I increased bake time to 40 minutes. Turned out wonderful !
I’ve made this before and it always goes down a treat! I add Italian herbs, and black pepper to the Parmesan/sesame/breadcrumbs mixture. If I use beaten egg for dipping, I drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the chicken breasts before cooking- it gives them a more golden colour. Alternatively, I’ve dipped the chicken in melted butter instead of a beaten egg-very tasty!
I agree that the breadcrumbs need more spice. However, I found it to be tasty overall. I would suggest toasting the seeds before mixing them into the crumbs.
It’s is pretty easy to prepare but I agree with other reviewers it lacks of flavor. First use less that 1/2n cup of bread crumbs. Then for more flavor use garlic salt, pepper and herbs of provenze or dried basil. Now if you don’t add any of the seasing I mentioned befores you can prepare some dipping sauces like: a creamy italian dressing, cesar, mustard and mayonise.
Simple, easy, family pleaser. Sesame seeds added something different and new to a classic.
