i really liked this chicken. The crust itself was dry but I couldn't believe how juicy and succulent the chicken was inside. The crust was flavored nicely and I liked how the crust didn't just fall off like say, shake n bake does in the oven. -
Made this for supper tonight as a tag for the Bargain Basement tag game. I thought this was okay, but not great. But then I realized I didn't follow instructions correctly! I mixed the cornmeal in with the parm and herbs. And I think I overcooked some. It was a tad dry and would definitely put more cheese in next time! I'm not really sure what the lemon juice added; might leave that out next time. It was a very pretty dish!
