This updated version of Chicken Kiev, created by Lesley Tragesser, uses taco seasoning and green chilies to give it a tasty Southwestern feel. The Charleston, Missouri reader utilizes the microwave, which keeps the stove clean, and don't worry, the cracker coating still stays crispy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup miniature cheese crackers, crushed
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning
