I sliced about 800g (4 chicken breasts) - dividing each into 3 horizontal slices rather than strips. I used only about 2/3'rd of the crumbing mix for this amount and served with steamed doongara rice and steamed vegetables and my recipe # 175979 to add just a little more zing to the dish but ONE WORD OF WARNING WHEN CRUMBING DO NOT scratch your eye IT STINGS. Thank you Saturn for a recipe I will try again for it is healthier on my blood sugars than regular wheat crumbs, made fpr Jea;tju Choices ABC.

This was great chicken Saturn! Loved the breading, it gave the chicken a like crunchy crust that we really enjoyed! The little kick from the cayenne is a nice suprise! I think next time I might use 1/4 tsp of Old Bay. Served with honey mustard sauce and bbq sauce, and broccoli cheese rice. Thanks Saturn! Made for Fall 2009 PAC

I gotta admit that I ignored the "R U" part of the recipe, which I made with 4 breasts, adjusting the other ingredients accordingly! And, I made it as a finger food & put out two dipping sauces, one a mild salsa & the other a slightly spicier dip usually meant for seafood! Raves were everywhere [I think most adults secretly enjoy eating with their fingers!]. Another time [& there will be MANY more times!], though I want to make for a sit-down-dinner & include the "R U!" Thanks for sharing!

This was a nicely crunchy chicken recipe I would use again. I liked the bit of heat in the breading and it was so easy to make...always a plus here. Instead of serving over plain rice I used jasmine and added a package of Knorr vegetable soup mix. It really worked well with the chicken strips. As this is a RSC contest entry I am only giving 4 stars. I think the recipe calls for some sort of sauce, easily made from contest ingredients. (I served the tasty strips & rice with a salsa & sour cream.) That small detail dropped it a bit in my rating for a contest recipe. Thank you Saturn for a lovely meal!!!
