I know as the first post, this should be something huge and monumental. I can make the font really big; will that help?
But we’re here to share what we do in our kitchen. Like cook. I love to cook. I love experimenting with recipes, much to the chagrin of the family. Actually, the only time it was purely disgusting is when I made some sweet and sour meatballs in the crock pot. They were beyond sour and definitely not enough sweet.
The first time we fed Thing 1 carrots, he made such a face that from that point on, every time he didn’t like a particular food, we called it The Carrot Face. Well, the whole family made The Carrot Face that night. Every other time, at least someone in the family liked it. So what if it was usually just me?
We eat a lot of chicken and I’m always looking for new, FAST, and EASY ways of preparing it. This chicken tenders recipe quickly became a favorite of the kids, which automatically made it a favorite of mine as well. So here’s the recipe.
Italian Chicken Tenders
Two or three chicken breasts
Italian dressing
Breadcrumbs
Take a soup can and pound the chicken tenders like you’re PMSing and someone near you is being annoying. Then cut them into strips; I usually get three or four out of each breast.
Pour the dressing into one dish and the breadcrumbs in the other.
Dip the tenders into the dressing, then in the breadcrumbs, then lay them on a sprayed cookie sheet.
I always use a dry hand and a wet hand. The hand that gets the tenders out of the dressing is not the same hand that coats them in the breadcrumbs. If you use the same hand, your dry ingredients get all soggy and gross.
Put the tenders in the freezer for at least half an hour and up to an hour.
Pop them into a 425 degree oven for 25 minutes.
Husband and Thing 1 like them plain and Thing 2 dips his in ranch dressing. Sometimes I do ranch, sometimes I do barbeque. Sometimes I eat them plain. They’re very versatile. Oh, and they’re also good cold as leftovers.
