Cilantro Lime Chicken

This is my families new "most favorite"!!!

6 chicken breast halves
3/4 bag tortilla chips, preferably blue corn
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup honey
zest of 2 limes and juice of one lime
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
3/4 cup mango or peach salsa
6 slices pepper jack cheese

Crush tortilla chips in bag with a rolling pen.

In a bowl, mix honey, zest of one lime and juice of half of one lime. Pound chicken breasts so they are level and will cook evenly.

Coat chicken breasts generously in honey lime mixture then coat well in crushed tortilla chips. Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until chicken is almost but not thoroughly cooked. Remove from oven and turn on the broiler to low. Mix sour cream, cilantro and zest of second lime and remaining juice of first lime.

Place evenly atop chicken breasts the cilantro and lime sour cream mixture, salsa and finally the slices of cheese.

Place chicken breast back in the middle rack of oven and broil until cheese is golden brown and chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

ENJOY
