Deviled Chicken Breasts are spicy and juicy. A 'deviled' recipe is just another term for spicy. You control the heat! If you like spicy foods, add more crushed red pepper flakes, or layer on more flavor by adding some cayenne pepper.

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise

- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 cups plain croutons
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in mustard mixture, then place in crouton crumbs. Press firmly so crumbs coat chicken.
