This was the second time making these and I made a few changes with excellent results. I used chicken tenders as my son likes chicken strips - the first time they were a bit soggy but this time - I turned them after 15 minutes I broiled them for 5. I used 1/3 cup bread crumbs and sesame seeds. I didn't have an egg so I mixed a couple of tablespoons milk with sesame oil to dip in before breadcrumb mixture. Yummy will make often Read More

This was OK. No bells and whistles. Very simple. I too melted some butter in the dish and had no problem with sticking. I increased the parmesan cheese for more flavor. Read More

We really enjoyed this one. Per some other folks' comments I melted about 2 tbsp. butter in the pan before baking and had no problems with sticking. To enhance the sesame flavor I whisked 1 tbsp of sesame seed oil together with the egg- it brought out the flavor beautifully. A nice mildly-flavored dish- my 2-year-old gobbled it up. Oh and I used thigh meat instead of breast and it was amazingly moist and juicy! Read More

It was very bland but tasted fine. I added red chili flakes for some kick and a little salt and pepper. Next time I might also add italian seasoning or something along those lines. The recipe is definitly a good base. I didn't have problems with dryness. It was perfect and I kept them in for the full 30 minutes. Read More

I used Progresso Garlic & Herb breadcrumbs and doubled the Parmesan cheese. Yummy! I fixed extra and my husband who never packs his lunch took the leftovers to the office for his lunch. This easy recipe will now be a regular dish in our house. Read More
