Ingredients
  • 3 cups Flamin' Hot BBQ Fritos
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • non stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Put the Fritos in a gallon size plastic bag and use a rolling pin or a cup to crush them and roll until they are a breadcrumb consistency.

  2. Put the crushed Fritos, kosher salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix together.

  3. Crack the egg in a separate bowl and beat with a fork.
