Love, love, love this chicken... Had an appointment today, so wanted something that would be quick tonight. I let the chicken brine while gone. It was a snap to throw together when I got home. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Wow, these are flavorful chicken breasts. We love the breading method. The crust fries up nice and crispy and keeps the meat juicy. One of the keys to the flavor is the brine. It moistens the chicken and adds flavor to the white meat. This is simple enough to make every day but good enough for a special occasion. Serve with a salad or simple side for a delicious dinner.
