Outstanding! I was looking for something special to do with some leftover yogurt that I made and this fit the bill to a T. I would have never thought to use it in this way. VERY CLEVER and the flavors work perfectly. I sprayed olive oil on the breaded breasts rather than drizzle melted butter and used 6 cloves of garlic. First class, thanks Tami

These were really tasty and the yoghurt dressing is superb!

Moist and tasty (children didn't like it but I do). Didn't (not found in Japan) have Italian breadcrumbs and romano cheese; used plain breadcrumbs and a mixture of parmesan, monterey and bits of jarlsberg cheeses. Forego the melted butter since it was already rich enough. I kinda of like it without the sauce. Thanks. Schin
