Default Failed recipe

Someone posted this recipe to Facebook and she is a good cook so I assumed
that she had tried it. I also thought it was too good to be true, and it
was.

As you can see, no amounts are listed. And I did not make the sauce as I
know that my husband and daughter wouldn't have liked it.

So what went wrong? Nothing would stick to the chicken. I wondered about
dipping it in milk. Normally when I make things like this (which isn't
often), I use an egg to make the stuff stick. I know that buttermilk can be
used too. But the regular milk was just too thin, I think. I also only
used a small amount of cheese as daughter isn't big on cheese and meat
together.

I did manage to force the crumbs and cheese onto the chicken and baked it.
Nothing stuck to the bottom of the chicken. Not much stuck to the top and
it certainly wasn't crispy at all. So... Disappointed as there are two
chicken breasts left.

I also wondered about the lack of seasoning but reasoned that the salt in
the Ritz would be enough. I have since looked up these ingredients and see
other recipes, most of them similar to this:

I used perhaps 3/4 of a cup for 4 breasts, if that. And as I found, I did
have to press the stuff on, but it still didn't stick. Maybe because I used
not enough cheese and 2% milk. I would assume that whole is thicker. Not
sure I've ever actually seen what whole looks like.

The good thing is that the chicken came out moist and tender, but... What
can I do with the remaining two breasts? I thought about putting them on
Cibatta bread, maybe with some mustard or something because they are
woefully lacking in seasoning.
