Morning Show with Kimberly Walters and Tim Joyce

Chef Becky was a guest on the Live NBC Morning Show with Kimberly Walters and Tim Joyce. She demonstrated how to make "Confetti Chicken," a client favorite. It is a colorful dish, consisting of chicken breasts breaded with crushed tortilla chips. The breaded chicken breasts are pan fried and topped with a delicious Black Bean Salsa.
