If your looking to cut out the bread crumbs try using Planko breading. They have 3 kinds that I know of Lemon-Pepper, Italian and Plain. It gives that right crunch and texture. Try it you will love it......

If your really looking for a replacement on bread crumbs. Something that i have been using is Planko Breading, it gives that right crunch needed. Progresso has some really good and inexpesive Planko breading in different flavors. Lemon-Pepper, Italian, and Plain. You'll love it.......

If ya'll want something yummy this is it! Instead of bread crumbs I used mashed up croutons and I suggest cutting the Thyme measurment to one teaspoon instead of one and a half. So easy, so YUM! Thank you Paula!

Absolutely delicious! I did the recipe with chicken wings instead of breasts and it was fabulous. It made me smile when I was so not looking forward to eating chicken.

A new twist on chicken, but not my favorite. I probably wouldn't make these again.

This chicken was delicious, my son couldn't get enough of it. I am not a big chicken fan, but I must say that this was the most tender chicken I have ever eaten.
