I'm a chicken freak and can't wait to try this. Thanks Chatty!

We do tons of boneless chicken in our household. I will definitely give this one a whirl. How about topping it with grated cheddar cheese? Doesn't that sound good? I feel a food feast coming...

You can top it with anything you like. I use a small amount of sour cream topped with salsa, and cheese sprinkles and then sliced or grated black olives...Spanish rice as a side dish and you'll swear your in old Mexico...This is excellent for company too it is very festive with the mashed colored chips and the toppings.
And you talk about taste good...OLE!!!!

One more time for those that missed this one...

Dotsie this chicken is very very crispy and so darn good....guess you missed this post before.

Now if you don't want the 'ole' effect substitute dipping in flour first, then the beaten eggs and then regular bread crumbs....
