This was really tasty. I ended up marinating the chicken overnight and boy what a good flavor the chicken has. Also I lightened up the recipe by using 1/4 cup of oil versus 1 cup and it came out great. If there are any leftovers, I will shread the chicken and use in a fresh salad with a honey dressing. This was very simple to prepare also. YUM!!

We marinated the chicken overnight. The flavor was good, but the "breading" of flour got soggy when we baked it (after browning in oil). Next time, I might skip the flour. Also, we didn't flatten the chicken, and it turned out juicy and tender. If I come up with any improvements next time, I'll comment again!
