I have been experimenting with different recipes for chicken breasts and this one comes out tops so far. Easy to make and full of flavour. I cut down on the cheese to make it a bit healthier and it was still very tasty. Will definitely be making it again. - 02 Feb 2016
Easy and super tasty - 06 Oct 2015
Not the best recipe: yes, the meat was moist (after only 15 minutes so watch out-recommended 30 min may make it dry). After quick look at prevoius reviews, I halfed butter - very sensible decission, and added more seasoning (dry chilli, dry pepper etc). The cheese was not so distinct as I thought it would be, my husband didn't realize there was any cheese until I told him so, and breadcrumbs could have been cut down toat least 1/3. The garlic wasn't dedectable due to too long cooking. It was edible, but needs too many alterations to be considered as retry. - 03 Jun 2017
