Lime Tortilla Chicken

1 cup finely crushed plain tortilla chips
(for best results, crush in food processor or blender)
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
2 Tbs. lime juice
1 tsp. honey
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

sauce:
1 can (14.5 oz.) Mexican stewed tomatoes
2 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup grated cheese

Place finely crushed tortilla chips on a plate. Combine oil, lime juice and honey in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in oil mixture, then press in chips. Place in greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken bakes, puree tomatoes, cilantro, chili powder and garlic powder together in food processor or blender to make a sauce. Remove chicken from oven and spread evenly with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Continue baking until cheese melts, about 5-8 minutes.

My kids really like this one! I'd like to try it with different flavors of Doritos or tortilla chips just to be wild. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks Kim!
