My whole family loved this chicken! They loved it with and with out this sauce! I personally love rose mary so I added a little more to the sauce,and the Panko bread crumbs were perfect for the chicken! I am going to make this receipe again as this is one of their favorites and have cooked many dishes from this site. Great job! Thank you for this recipe.

A very tastey chicken dish , the lemon is must. I have cooked it twice so far. Once using reg bread crumbs, and once with the panko. I myself prefer the reg bread crumbs, my husband on the other hand really like the panko.
