In the mood for 'crisp' so pounded the chicken, then dipped in Egg Beaters followed by panko crumbs with garlic & herb seasoning prior to cooking. My husband loves all things saucy, so added some white wine to the sauce ingredients to make it go further. A big hit!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"07\/08\/2013 20:09","GUID":"feeda4ac3ddf4b9abf6315390dd0cfce","MemberId":5781736,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"RLSM","SubmittedDate":"07\/08\/2013 20:09"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"10\/14\/2012 06:58","GUID":"380a738cf9fe437191cdbae60945eb52","MemberId":6914849,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"A.Wright","SubmittedDate":"10\/14\/2012 06:58"},{"Comment":"

This is very delicious, quick and easy. I made it with chicken tenders, and used olive oil to cook the chicken. When making the lime butter, I used only a couple tablespoons of butter. I think 1 Tblsp. might even be enough. I didn't notice how small the amount of chives was and had already cut a handful of chives from my garden, so used them all. It didn't seem to hurt the recipe any to greatly increase the chives!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"08\/22\/2011 08:41","GUID":"77E4B77FF2AE418DB761AD364C2891FC","MemberId":941931,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Mrs_T","SubmittedDate":"08\/22\/2011 08:41"},{"Comment":"

What a great flavor! I use hawaiian sea salt and Costco's pepper to season the chicken and the kids eat it that way, and then my husband and I use the lime butter on top after slicing our chicken to let it soak in. I've made this twice in the past month and it's so good and so easy!

Good recipe, but I would recomend cutting the amount of butter to a couple tablespoons.
