breaded chicken with potato wedges


I first discovered this recipe in my catering class at school. With a few twists, I made this into the perfect dish. The bread crumbs were especially good because they were a nice crispy coating to the chicken. I presented the meal on 5 plates then fed it to my family. Arthur de Neve  (I'm 13, by the way)
