"The first time to make this, but it certainly won't be the last"!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Very Simple, straightforward recipe. the only deviations from the recipe i made was to use vodka sauce instead of marinara,... to thicken the white cream sauce by adding flour in with butter and garlic first, then adding the cream. I also skipped the parsley as my husband doesn't care for it, and used dried Italian herbs/spices to the 'mix' instead. I topped it off with actual parmesan shavings. Great introduction to chicken parmesan for a first go at the meal--it was very approachable and it was a huge success with the whole house hold! Read more

Good, Quick and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It was dinner time and I didn't know what to prepare, but wanted something good. I came across this receipe online adn... happen to have all the ingredients in the kitchen. My entire family loved it! I prepared both sauces and enjoyed the combination, but the dish was equally delicious with the red sauce all by itself. Great work Big Daddy! Keep it coming! Read more

Crunchy and Juicy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My fab family of four really enjoyed this! Unlike some of the other reviewers, I did use both sauces for the chicken and to... be honest, I preferred the white sauce over the chicken and leave out the jar sauce. It was delicious, just add about a tablespoon of flour to thicken. Although this recipe will make you kitchen a little messy, the chicken came out juicy and crisp. Enjoy!Read more

Loved It Loved It Loved It!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was great, my hubby and 2 year old son were delighted and there were NO leftovers!!! I followed the... recommendation of others that have made this recipe and passed on the white sauce. The only change that I made to the recipe was adding 1/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese and 1/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs to the Panko. To save time, and for extra flavor I cut and seasoned my chicken the night before so the flavors were EXCELLENT!! We will definately be eating this again and again!Read more
