Serves 6

2 oz plain potato chips
2 oz thin pretzel sticks
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 eggs
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1-1/4 lb chicken breasts
2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
1-1/2 cups sweet white wine(such as Riesling)
Pinch saffron threads
1 tsp dry parsley
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water

Procedure:
Heat oven to 450 F
In food processor, combined the potato chips, pretzels, and red pepper flakes, then pulse until they are reduced to very fine crumbs. Transfer the mixture to a wide shallow bowl and set aside.
In a second wide , shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and soy sauce. Set aside.
Carefully slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 2 thin fillets. One at a time, place the chicken fillets in the egg mixture , turning to coat both sides. Dredge each fillet through the chip and pretzel mixture, turning to coat both sides.
In a large , oven -safe skillet over medium high, heat the oil until very hot. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn the breasts, then place the skillet in the oven, bake for 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Cove with foil to keep warm. Return skillet to the stove top over medium high heat. Add the wine, saffron, parsley and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring and scrapping the bottom of the pan with a spoon to release any browned bits.
Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, then add the butter and swirl it in until melted.
In a small glass, mix the cornstarch and water, then add to the skillet. Return to a simmer, stirring constantly , and cook until thickened , about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce.
