Southwest Chicken Kiev image

This updated version of Chicken Kiev, created by Lesley Tragesser, uses taco seasoning and green chilies to give it a tasty Southwestern feel. The Charleston, Missouri reader utilizes the microwave, which keeps the stove clean, and don't worry, the cracker coating still stays crispy.

Not bad! I thought the chicken was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I might try brining the chicken next time to see if that helps.
