    Baked Crispy Chicken Breasts

    We do like our chicken cutlets around here, but I don’t fry very often. And they’re a lot of work, turning and getting them just right. Last week I tried a baked version that came out great. I even used just egg whites rather than the whole egg to make it even healthier! Worked great–and…
