Chicken Parm à la FLAMIN' HOT^®

How to make it

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In food processor, pulse 4 cups CHEETOS® Puffs FLAMIN' HOT® cheese flavoured snacks until finely ground.
2. Working with one a time, place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound evenly with meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness; set aside.
3. In shallow dish, stir together 1/4 cup ground Puffs and flour. In separate shallow dish, stir together remaining ground Puffs and breadcrumbs. Place eggs in separate shallow dish.
4. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, then dip in eggs; coat in bread crumb mixture. 
5. Heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook chicken in batches if needed, for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
6. Transfer chicken to 13- x 9-inch baking dish or parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Stir together tomato sauce and salsa until blended; spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. 
7. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through. 
8. Garnish with remaining Puffs and basil. Serve with side of hot peppers (if using).

Tips: 
Alternatively, sear chicken in a cast iron pan or large ovenproof skillet; top with sauce and cheese before baking. 
Substitute fontina or provolone for mozzarella cheese if preferred.
