Microwave Romano Chicken

Recipe #191235 | 20 min | 15 min prep | 4 chicken breasts (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: KITTENCAL

I have to admit I was skeptical about this recipe, but it actually pretty good! I used honey ham for mine but any cooked thinly sliced ham will do! dry breadcrumbs only for this.

    My first time baking chicken in the microwave. Delicious recipe! Only small problem - chicken wasn't cooked after 5 minutes - had to put it for 15 minutes. Maybe I should have used a cover? Thanks Kit - the chicken was moist and tasty and the outside was cripsy! Used Spiced Panko Bread Crumbs for the breadcrumbs!
