Love this recipe; the directions are clear, it goes together quick and easy, looks attractive when done and taste great - have to agree the fresh parmesan really is the only way to go. Loved the combination of Italian bread crumbs and cheese and the way it really stretched just 2 breast halves. Served with a simple garden tomatoe and fresh mozzerella salad with a good red wine and an impressive dinner was ready in minutes. This will be a regular at our house. Made for PAC Fall - 09
