    The chicken is very tasty but the parmesan tends to stick the pan instead of the chicken! Veggies are nice too but I like to add a little garlic.

    Mixed parmesan with a little chili flakes, pushes the chicken up a notch

    This is a very tasty recipe which my husband loved. However, the list of ingredients does not contain basil, although it is called for in the method. Next time I will add the chilli flakes as suggested by grandadturk.

    THIS RECIPE ALSO WORKS EVEN BETTER WITH VEAL. I ADD CHILLI FLAKES AND A CLOVE OF GARLIC TO THE PARMESAN.

    This was a great success. My 11 year old son enjoyed helping me make it almost as much as eating the meal. Could be a new family favourite!

    Really tasty - I didn't have much Parmesan cheese so i mixed it with brown bread crumbs. The chicken still had that cheesy flavour and was brown & crispy too. Will definitely do this recipe again.

    Really tasty recipe and very easy to make, the taste is very fresh. You could easily just grill the chicken if you wanted less calories and add some garlic to the courgettes for more taste. Highly recommended!
