Once again, my bacon has been saved, so to speak. So easy when you know how. I coated some small flat fish with mayonaise and these bread crumbs and they smelled and tasted delicious. Might try them on some chicken next! Thanks Food.com :-)

I used this to make Chicken Parmesan. The recipe is simple and just as good as something you could purchase. Thanks!
