My entire family really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was quite tender and flavorful. The crushed tortilla chips provided a little crunch, while the cilantro, lime and cheese gave a sensational blend of flavors that made this a very special meal. Thanks, sweetcakes. Made for Spring 2010 Pick-A-Chef.

Delicious! This is a fabulous chicken dish. Plenty of flavor, with a moist and tender chicken. I used chicken tenderloins, which were a perfect size. Thanks for sharing!
