Easy, fast and delicious! I didn't have enough mayo so I added some Dijon (French) Mustard. I served it with a fruit salsa - Mmmmm! Thanks for a great easy recipe!

I also pounded and then breaded my chicken breast firstly for this, I use canned chipotle, and increased the salsa. I gave this to my DS as a take-home meal on top of cooked rice. thanks Rita!..Kitten:)

Another simple recipe that has great flavor. I pounded my chicken breast to a uniform thickness and reduced the baking time. I also subbed plain bread crumbs for the Italian seasoned, but added garlic and onion powders to the mix along with some chopped parsley. I served this with Mexican Calabacitas (recipe #72363) for a great burst of flavor on our plate.

So very simple and great flavor! I pounded the chicken breasts thin and baked 15 minutes. Then, topped with a mild salsa and a bit of sour cream with some chopped green onion. :) Thanks!
