FRITO CHILI CHEESY CHICKEN
Inspiration can come to me from anywhere. This recipe basically popped into my head while I was thinking about a Tandoori Lamb dish. (Which is still in its nascent stages) I had half a bag of Fritos Chili-Cheese corn chips, a carton of plain yogurt, some cilantro and a lime. Wanted an easy chicken dish, baked, with a Mexican...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, mix all of the marinade ingredients. Place chicken strips/tenders in a gallon zip storage bag and pour marinade over. Zip and place in refrigerator for approximately 4 hours to marinate. (I actually let them marinate overnight)
- 2. When ready to bake, Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the crumb coating in a food processor. Grind Fritos to fine crumbs, add panko crumbs, and 1/2 c. grated cheese. Whiz together to mix. Melt butter in small microwaveable bowl for about 20-30 seconds. Turn on proceessor and add butter. Let mix well. This will be loose crumbs which will hold together if squeezed. (If you want more flavor, add some chili powder, chopped cilantro, garlic powder or onion powder to suit your taste.) Place crumbs in shallow dish for coating.
- 3. Remove chicken from marinade, letting any excess drip off. Then place in crumbs and coat well, pressing crumbs lightly onto chicken. Place coated chicken slightly apart on a baking pan lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
- 4. Bake for 15 minutes, turn pieces over carefully, sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 c grated cheese and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more until brown and crusty. Test internal temp for 160 degrees to assure proper cooking.
- 5. Remove chicken from pan, serve with Spanish rice, refried or whole pinto beans, warm tortillas, salsa or pico de gayo and perhaps a shredded lettuce and tomato salad. Serve with Lime sections to squeeze over the chicken just before eating. Gives it a zing!
