Recipe Mondays: Deviled Chicken from Guest Writer, Esther

The best breaded chicken recipe in the world—at least, in my opinion! And it's also healthy for you. My cousin once smelled it cooking, and said that it “smelled like KFC”! I've never tasted KFC before, but I do know that this is really good. Here's the recipe (it came from Feasting Naturally, a GREAT cookbook!):
