Trisha W's Note:

This was one of my favorite recipes when I was in Weight Watchers. My teenage son also likes this very much and frequently still requests that I make it. I am posting it because I do not want to lose this recipe, and it had been misplaced for a few months and just found again today. This recipe is written for 1 person, but ingredients can be increased as needed.

This was very delicious!! The only problem I had, was that it was not very crunchy. The bottom was pretty soggy. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it a little more crunchy? Thanks for the great recipe!

Chicken does come out lovely & crunchy. Next time I will flip it half way through cooking and save half the margerine for the second side. I think 1/4-1/2 tsp chili flakes would be nice too. A very enjoyable recipe that watchs the waistline without you knowing it Thanks Thrisha.
