Lime Tortilla Chicken

Lime Tortilla Chicken

1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
2 tbs vegetable oil
2 tbs lime juice
2 tbs fresh cilantro
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbs honey
1 can (14.5 oz) Mexican stewed tomatoes
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 cup grated jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Place finely crushed tortilla chips on plate. Combine oil, lime juice and honey in shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in oil mixture, then press in chips. Place in a greased jelly roll pan with sides. Bake for 25 min. 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 sauce. Remove chicken from oven and spread evenly with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Continue baking until cheese melts, about 5-8 minutes. Serves 6.

This recipe can be made as a casserole. Just cube the chicken and marinate in the lime mixture then add the tortilla chips.  (Special thanks to Jen for this fabulous recipe. My family loves it!)
