South Beach Phase One "breaded Chicken"

Perfect recipe for those needing breaded chicken. It has been the one thing I'v being craving since starting the diet...so I got creative. It may sound a little odd at first, but the outcome is crunchy, moist, flavorful, and tasty chicken. Really very good recipe! (tip - use thin cut chicken breasts, they cook faster and are uniform size.)
