Only for a few days. We are heading over the mountain tomorrow and I'm sadden to have to leave you all behind. Though you wont be far from my mind, I will be thinking of you when I make pecan pie martinis and Nutella cream pie. (Thanks lady's) I don't have the luxury of a wireless port wherever I go, so I'll keep you dear in my heart. Maybe the house in the woods will have wireless connection~
Maybe not.
I'm hoping to spend some time in solitude and catching up on my journaling. Of course spending time with my family and making memories with friends. Cooking will be on the agenda but we've decided not to outdo ourselves but rather just have fun and keep things as simple as possible.
I'm a little under the weather too, so here on the home front has been rather bleak as most nights consist of toast and bean burritos. Lucky for you though, I stashed away a recipe from last week that seems most appropriate for this weeks upcoming event. Kiddo friendly of course. Or rather, the kiddo in you.
Don't call these Chicken McNuggets.
These aren't a mystery. Their made with real quality chicken. Their not fried, their baked. And the crunchy topping is scrumptious and full of flavor.
Their delicious and totally easy!
The process
Crunchy Baked Chicken Nuggets(serves 4-6)
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breast cut in nugget size pieces
2 cups flavored potato chips(I used Lays baked southwestern ranch)
2 eggs beaten
Directions
Preheat oven to 400
Place chips in food processor and pulse until fine. Place in shallow dish. Beat two eggs and place in shallow dish. Put all the chicken pieces in egg to coat evenly. Let excess drip off and place in chip crumbs, coating both sides well. Place on cooling rack until finished with the rest. On large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, coat with cooking spray; lay down chicken nuggets. Spray the top of nuggets with cooking spray and bake for 12 minutes. Turn nuggets over and bake another 10 minutes or until golden and no longer pink in middle. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
I hope you all have a safe and blessed week, and for all you Super Bowl fans......
Eat well!
Ang,

ReplyDeleteMy kids love homemade chicken nuggets! I used crushed croutons as my coating...but chips sound even better! Enjoy your time in the woods...and feel better soon, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHomemade nuggets are the best!! Have a wonderful, relaxing, offline time!
ReplyDeletePotato chip breaded chicken is so good! I love that salty, crispiness. Have fun and do some relaxing for me on your retreat!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Southwestern bbq chips on chicken? Sounds awesome! I don't think I've ever eaten a chicken mcnugget, I've always been a little weirded out by their general um, being. These are fantastic and I know my little girl will love them. I bet you could put the same crumb mix on chicken drumsticks, I might because my son is a little neanderthal who likes to eat chicken on the bone. Have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteSounds so easy and yummy! Thanks for this great recipe. Enjoy your trip ya...
