This was fantastic! Super crunchy and the sweetness of the corn chips comes through in the chicken quite nicely.

Made and enjoyed with enough left over for tomorrow's lunch. Loved the spicy flavor and crispy crunch of the topping, best of all it looked as good as the photo! Cooking for one did scale this back but see making the full recipe for family and friends as it's definitely a company quality meal!
