My Thoughts: Excellent! James and I had this for dinner last night and really enjoyed it. Although it isn't the most healthy thing we can eat, it was pretty easy to make and was very tasty! I cut the recipe in half since I was just making it for the 2 of us. In doing this, I almost ran out of the flour mix but everything else seemed to be just perfect for the 2 pieces of chicken. We paired our main dish with a side of corn, butter noodles, and honey butter biscuits. It was delicious and our tummy's were definitely full afterwards. I highly recommend this dish if you are looking for something slightly unhealthy, pretty quick, and quiet yummy! :)
