This is very very good. I love the parsley mixed in the breadcrumbs, and was pretty heavy-handed with it. I think this is a very good way to make, say, 6 servings of this chicken, and very efficient. For a smaller number of servings, with thin pieces of chicken, I found, it is probably better to cook the sauce on the stovetop, because the chicken will cook faster than the sauce. Either way, it's delicious. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
