I’ve done it with fresh and they can get soggy and slip off the chicken as you’re cooking, which defeats the purpose of the bread crumbs.

Or, if I’m throwing carbs to the wind, a crusty bread is great for soaking up the salad dressing. Even with heating up the grill, the breaded chicken takes mere minutes to cook through, so in 20 minutes you can have dinner ready!

That was something I needed and didn’t have in my life. Once I knew that, I knew also I needed to try grilled breaded chicken. It turns out all you need is a very simple and light breading along with a very thin piece of meat. 🙂 Before I saw that recipe it hadn’t occurred to me that you could bread meat and grill it and not burn it or have the breading fall off into the grates of the grill.
