Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

This dish sounds delicious. It looks elegant, and definitely worthy to serve to company. Perhaps it’s only my imagination, but it seems to me that they’ve cut WAY DOWN on the ‘Italian seasonings’ in the (Progresso) Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs. I found the bread crumbs to be very bland lately, so I now always add more seasonings to them (oregano, basil, dry parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese (from the green jar), and salt & pepper. This is a huge flavor improvement in the breadcrumbs.
