EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you don’t have Italian-style dry bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs will do. To give them an extra boost of Italian flavor, mix regular bread crumbs with chopped fresh basil leaves as directed and add 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a dash of grated Parmesan cheese.

This was a big hit at my family dinner..It was served with the zesty italian chicken and it went well together. Since the salmonella outbreak I used sundried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes none the less it was delicious! Thanks Betty! Tenithe -Memphis, TN
