Quick Margarita Chicken

This dish is Oh So Delicious! And is my husbands number one request. (I'm salivating just writting it.)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp honey
1 cup finely lime tostitos tortilla chips
1 cup italian style stewed tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese

In a blender or food processor, finely crush tortilla chips.

Mix oil, juice, and honey. Brush on chicken and roll in chip crumbs.

Bake @ 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Puree tomatoes and cilantro into a sauce.

After chicken has been cooking 20-25 minutes and is just about done, remove. Top with puree, sprinkle with cheese and bake again for 4-5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.

Note: If you decide to use a different tortilla chip, DO NOT use the more authentic stone ground tortilla chips, it just doesn't seem to turn out right. Also, I always make more of the sauce... cause I'm "saucy" like that.
