Breaded Chicken

Oh, recipe exchange fans… it has been a looooong time. I was transitioning to a once monthly recipe-posting schedule, but then Pesach hit, and I sort of lost my mind. You’ll be relieved to know that I found it. A few days ago. Along with the chametz muffin tins I had stashed at the last [...]
