I could have sworn that I've seen Shake N Bake in the shops here...but I guess my eyes deceived me. Instead, I improvised and used a seasoned crispy coating mix ( probably the Australian equivalent), and a hot salsa with Colby cheese.<br/>We loved this..even the children gobbled theirs up.<br/>A fantastically simple and very tasty meal that I am looking forward to making again!

Very good and so easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used cheddar cheese instead of monterey jack as that is all I had. I also didn't measure the salsa and cheese, I just dumped it on. We all enjoyed this.

Excellent. My coating didn't stick so mixed an egg and a little water together and then coated the chicken breasts. I used some of my homemade salsa and it was great. Probably added more cheese than called for but it suited us. Thanks Syd for sharing. Will be made again. :)

Wow! I haven't used shake n bake in ages. I didn't even know they still made it. This created a very moist and tender piece of chicken with a nice touch of crunch for the coating. I used a hot salsa and pepper jack cheese only because we enjoy spicy food. This is so easy to prepare and it looks great plated. I served it with Syd's recipe #215501 and a side of frozen corn for a delicious dinner. Made for Zaar stars tag game. Thanks for posting. :)
