I discovered this recipe years ago and forgot all about it until my grandchildren came to visit. They were not adventurous in the food line so I thought I would surprise them. I added the puffed rice cereal (puffed wheat/sugar puffs/Rice Crispies) ingredients and it was an instant hit. They are now in their 20’s and still love my Crispy Chicken Bake. Serve as a main dish or in a sandwich.
