75 Reviews of Italian Chicken

Nicer, healthier and tastier version of breaded chicken (no carbs, hooray!) Rather than margarine I brushed olive oil on the breasts and used fresh parsley, minced garlic and dried orgegano. I found two tablespoons of oregano to be a bit overpowering although it could very well be the dried Greek variety I buy. It is sold in large branches and the taste and smell are different from the North American version (I'm not going to fault you for my ingredients)! The chicken breasts I used were huge and I was concerned about the cooking time although the high heat method worked very well; the breasts were very tender. Next time I may try marinating in garlic, lemon juice/zest and olive oil before pressing into the mixture just to see what transpires! This will become a mainstay in our house! Thanks kindly for your recipe! P.S. Try tossing leftover chicken in a salad with tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, feta and lemon vinaigrette; my lovely lunch today!

Yowzers! All through dinner, I kept commenting, "Isn't this great? Isn't this just delicious?" I can't get over how much I enjoyed this simple chicken dish. I used freshly grated parmesan, and dipped the chicken in melted butter (not margarine). Oh, and used the fresh parsley, not dried. This was very, very easy to prepare, cooked to moist tender perfection after 20 minutes in the oven, and will definitely become a regular for me. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

The chicken is moist and full of flavor. I used Mexican oregano which is usually stonger, but I didn't think it overpowered the dish. The fresh parsley gave the dish a lovely look. We were delighted with this dish, and I heartily recommend it to anyone. You won't be disappointed! Thanks, MG for providing me with another tried & true recipe.

Very quick and easy yet tasted as if you've slaved over the stove all day. My family really enjoyed it and asked if I could make it again soon. It was very tasty and there were no leftovers!

You've done it again, MG! This is an outstanding recipe! I decided to make this last night because of the low carbs in the dish. I have to be honest, though...I really doubted how good this would be from the very simple list of ingredients! Wow, was I ever wrong! I love the oregano flavor in this dish. I did not change a single thing, there isn't a need to. I just can't stress what an outstanding flavor combination this is, the ease of preparation and how juicy and moist the chicken was. I served this with some couscous for the guys and sliced tomatoes and green beans for myself and we all just kept commenting on how delicious it was. Thanks for this recipe, this one will become a staple in this house!

WOW! This came out FABULOUS (and easy)! I doubled the recipe for 6 people and had only one piece of chicken left over (and 2 hours later that was gone!)! I can't believe how much this tastes like breaded chicken without the breadcrumbs. I served with a 4-cheese pasta side dish and salad. I will be making this again...next time I may try topping it with sauce and cheese. Thanks for sharing...everyone loved this!

Wonderful recipe option for the South Beach diet - I sprayed the chicken with I Can't Believe it's Not Butter spray margarine, rather than dredging in the regular stuff. It came out just fine - moist and delicious - after 25 min. cooking time.

Very tasty and extremely quick and easy to make. I will be making this again the next time I'm in a pinch.

This just about drove me crazy while it cooked. The kitchen smelled amazing and my dh practically ripped the oven door off trying to inhale the amazing aroma!!! This recipe was so fast, so easy, and yielded the most delicious results!!!! I used chicken thighs, and romano and parmesan cheese. I am sure it is even more amazing with chicken breasts. Thank you Mystery Girl!!!

Great! Very tender chicken, and the crispness on the outside was a good contrast. So easy to put together, all I had was dried herbs, but still very good tasting. This will be a regular. Thanks, Carole
