Best baked chicken ever! I made it with shnitzel and it was delicious. Then I tried it with sweet chili sauce and another time with garlic sesame sauce. The chicken never dries out.

Wow! I'm not sure if I should save this recipe as a quick, easy supper (for when I get home from work late, need to serve the kids a kid-friendly meal, and then get ready for a wedding...) or when I am preparing a fancier, tasty meal for a party...

This recipe checks all the boxes! Thank you.

Pesto Schnitzel YUM! I made it with regular schnitzel and it was great. I'm sure with pargiyot it's even better!

Too good to be true! I’m obsessed! The simplest n tastiest chicken I ever made!! I Coated the cutlets in the morning n kept it in my fridge, then just sprayed it and popped it in the oven when I came home. We ate every last bite!
