Steps:

• Pound fillets to tenderize and place in gallon Ziploc and pour dressing over.
• Give a few tosses to coat and refrigerate a few hours.
• Marinating while you're at work is fine.
• Dip marinated fillets in egg, then crumbs, lightly flour, then back into crumbs again.
• Put into baking dish and sprinkle with seasonings to taste.
• Bake at 350°F until no pink shows.
• I cut one to see if its done in the center.
• That's usually the largest piece.
• Flip once in the middle of baking to give an even golden brown. (Sorry my camera is broken I don't have a photo!)
• I like to serve with the children's favorites Mac n Cheese, oven baked beans, and of course BBQ sauce for chicken dippin'. I like to dip my chicken in homemade garden stewed tomatoes pipin' hot. Yummmm.
