I wanted to find something simple to make for dinner after a busy day at work, so I found this recipe. I had everything on hand, and I figured I could convince Dino to make a dipping sauce or two to go alongside. He made a spicy honey mustard sauce and a sweet and sour chili sauce. Both were awesome! This recipe was easy and tasty - the chicken is super moist, and the breading is flavorful. I think it would be good without the cheese, too, which would work better with some sauces. I substituted Pecorino Romano for Parmesan, and it was great!
