Hey there. thanks for stopping by. I really need to update this more. i have lots more recipes!

I looked over my recipe and i see the problem. When you bread the chicken and brown it over medium heat, i should have also typed that "you should cook it over medium heat until done clear through and brown".

Sorry about that. i will go in and change it.
