2. For chicken, place cracker crumbs into Coating Tray; bake until deep golden brown, stirring every 30 seconds. Flatten chicken to a 1/2-in. (1-cm) thickness with Meat Tenderizer. Brush chicken with mayonnaise using Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush; season with salt and black pepper. Dredge chicken in cracker crumbs, firmly pressing to coat.
3. Heat oil in Executive (12-in./30-cm) Skillet over medium heat 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Cook chicken 3-4 minutes on each side or until centers are no longer pink.

“Help Whip Cancer” with Pampered Chef!
I started my Pampered Chef business because I love their products! But Pampered Chjef is more than that; it was started in 1980 by Doris Christopher in order to earn money and be a full time mom, and she had a purpose: “To get us to gather together and enjoy a shared mealtime experience”. For that reason we provide high quality tools and recipes that make cooking simple, easy and fun! Pampered Chef can also assist the community by raising money for different causes like American Cancer Society and Feeding America. This month PC is raising money to “Help Whip Cancer”. For more information about our products and to participate in our fundraiser this month, go to my website: www.pamperedchef.biz/rosiescorner
