    I do the same thing with chicken. I use grated parmesan cheese, and when the chicken is done baking, I put it under the broiler for just a few minutes. It gets crispy and really yummy! :)

    It does.

    The oil acts as the binder to the chicken just like butter or an egg wash.

    You can also NOT use the oil for even lower cal and fat and just sprinkle the mix on top.

    I have cooked it twice for my family and they have loved it!

    Nice! I do enjoy a good baked Chicken Breast and the Parmesan Cheese tops it off nicely along with the seasoning. Thanks
