Corn Flake Chili Lime Shnitzel (Chicken Fingers)

Corn Flake Chili Lime Shnitzel (Chicken Fingers)

This chicken recipe came to me last night. 
I was scrolling the isles at Trader Joe’s, because, well you know, that’s what you do at Trader Joe’s. I hadn’t been there in a while but I needed a stock up of fresh fruits and vegetables, and they are considerably cheaper then some of the stores around here.
Low and behold, I found fresh string beans, trimmed and cleaned, beautiful, toasted almonds, very cheap, cut up butternut squash, adorable, baby potato’s and our favorite, chili lime chips.
I came home and took chicken breasts out of the freezer. As the day proceeded, I began to play around with my dinner ideas in my head.
This is what I came up with.
