"Wonderful recipe! Have made a couple of times before writing a review. The recipe is wonderful as written, but after experimenting, would suggest the following to change it up from time to time: 1)..." See moreIncrease the cheese to 3/4 cup using a mixture of Romano and Parmesan. 2) Used 1 tsp of a good quality paprika (makes all the difference in the flavor of the finished dish) and 1 tsp smoky paprika. 3) Added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. 4) Decrease butter to 1/8 cup based on the increase in cheese. 5) Bake for 45 minutes tops otherwise the chicken dries out. Enjoy!"

"Wonderful tasty recipe although a bit too buttery. I will definitely make this again and will experiment with less butter and/or oil to get to the level we'd enjoy most. I used a really nice Pecoran..." See moreo Romano which I freshly grated using a medium hole grater so I got nice slivers of cheese. Definitely avoice processed "fake" parm cheese or pregrated stuff. The better your cheese is, the tastier this will be."
