Serves 4

This recipe is from Good Morning America

-Four 6- to 8-ounce chicken breasts (you can use also use chicken cutlets or chicken thighs with bones, if desired)
-6 ounces potato chips (LAYS and RUFFLES are gluten free)
-1 clove garlic, minced
-4 tablespoons of butter
-1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Melt butter in microwave. Add garlic to it and let cool slightly. Crumble potato chips in food processor by pulsing for 30 seconds, or place paper towel over chips and roll back and forth with a rolling pin until chips resemble crumbs. Mix in black pepper. You will have 1 1/2cups. Place crumbs on a large plate.

3. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Dip one chicken cutlet onto butter garlic mixture. Place cutlet on potato chip crumbs and press down slightly to insure crumbs stick. Turn cutlet over and repeat on other side. Place on prepared baking pan. Repeat procedure for remaining 3 cutlets.

4. Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes (The cooking time for breasts & thighs with bones is 30 to 40 minutes). Make sure cutlets are cooked through, still tender and that the topping is golden brown.
