Tips & Tricks

We use coarse dried breadcrumbs in this recipe. If you like to make your own breadcrumbs, when grinding the bread in a food processor, don’t use the highest setting because the crumbs will be turn out small. Use the lowest setting for larger crumbs. You can also buy coarse panko breadcrumbs at the supermarket.

You can accompany the chicken with a simple salad of avocado, baby spinach, feta cheese, and lime.
