Season well with salt and pepper.", "Mix the chicken strips with the marinade and marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator (or overnight), stirring occasionally. In a pinch, you can marinate at room temperature for 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally.", "Dredge the chicken to coat it thoroughly in the bread-crumbs. Place on a lined, lightly greased baking sheet and roast in a 350 oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

You can spray it with olive oil or cooking spray for a more attractive color.).", "Serve chicken sprinkled with cilantro with a lime wedge on the side for squeezin'. (Note: I like to serve this dish over my recipe for ""Creamed Corn with Bacon and Chipotle"")."]
