This was so good. I used what was left of the Death Rain potato chips in the
cupboard, mixed it with some regular potato chips. Came out terrific.
Crunchy. DH loved it. Served it with roasted veggies and a salad.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ---------------------------------
Cilantro Sauce:
2 cups cilantro leaves, whole
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno -- seeded
2 tbsp distilled white vinegar
2 tbsp water
1 cup mayonnaise
Chicken:
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 5 oz bag Death Rain potato chips -- finely crushed
4 6 oz skinless boneless chicken breast halves -- pounded 1/2" thick

In a blender, combine the cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, vinegar and water and
puree. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise. Cover and
refrigerate.

In a shallow bowl, place egg substitute. In another bowl, combine the flour,

chicken with the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg. Coat
the chicken with the potato chips.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the chicken

moderately high heat until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes per
side. Transfer to
plates. Serve at once with the cilantro sauce.

Serve with Tomato Salad.

I placed the chicken in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes after I removed it
from the pan and drained it on paper towels.
