This look like something great to prepare for dinners and it does look like something great to add to salads! It would definitely become unhealthy if we still kept the skin on — but would it still turn out well if I kept the skin on? Just curious and probably would want to try out the taste if I did kept the skin on.
My wife made something like this before. I forget what she used for the flakes but I think it was corn flakes too. It was SO good! Something about that crispy coating that just throws the taste over the top! I highly recommend this dish to anyone wanting to liven up their chicken dinner. It’s so good!
