Low Fat Spicy Breaded Chicken Recipe

This is one of our favorite ways to make chicken. The coating really stays on, and the pan is easy to clean afterward writes Polly Coumos of Mogadore, Ohio. "Besides being low-sodium, the recipe contains no added fat. The seasoning can be adjusted according to your taste. We like to pack this chicken cooked and chilled for picnics."
