Great recipe! I've made this several times and it never fails. The Kikkoman brand panko is lower in sodium than the Progresso, so I use Kikkoman plain panko, organic mayo, and pure maple syrup. The flavor is also so much better if you use pure maple syrup. It's worth the splurge. Very nice served with whole green beans, broccoli, or zucchini. Try this recipe; you won't be disappointed!

I made this for the 2nd time tonight - oh so good. Next time I'm going to try it with a pinch of cayenne in the maple mix!

Great chicken very crispy. My husband who is VERY picky called it "very good"! I didn't pound the chicken breasts, otherwise I followed all the directions. So easy to make. We will be having this again. Not afraid to make it for company.
