I had this for lunch today. When I made your recipe #136935 a couple days ago - I did a couple plain chicken breasts in the breading. There was one leftover that I cut in half and used instead of the chicken called for in the recipe. Very tasty! :) Loved the tomatoes and avocados. Thanks for posting! Made for the September 2009 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.
