Cook's Notes

Marinating and baking the chicken is a healthy alternative for keeping it moist and flavorful.

This chicken was fabulous! I marinated it overnight-it was juicy, fall off the bone tender and very flavorful. I made two chickens and was left with only a few pieces!! I doubled the coating which turned out to be way too much. I also added a little extra cheese. This is now a favorite of my family!

This is for chamois; If u have any extra cheese left from this recipe, you can Put it in a freezer bag, & freeze until another recipe calls For it. This can be done with many different cheeses, blocks, & shredded. I have right now about five in my freezer to use In different recipes.

My family absolutely adore this recipe. They begged me to make it again, but the cheeses are hard to find in a smaller quantity and end up going to waste. So, this is our "once-in-a-while" dish. Hey, that makes it more special.

Wow this was so easy to make and just delicious. I didn't have a whole chicken on hand so I just used 5 chicken legs and two split chicken breasts. I also had only Panko bread crumbs and they worked out great. Really tasty and delicious, great week night meal.
