Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken image

Originally from Cuisine magazine, here is a wonderful way to prepare otherwise boring boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The crust on this chicken is delicious and the sage-butter sauce is divine! Excellent served with roasted new potatoes. Don't be intimidated by the number of ingredients or steps - it truly is simple to prepare. Prep time includes "resting" time for the crust.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have needed to cook it for a bit longer.
