EASY Homemade Chicken Strips

I LOVE chicken strips. The crispy outside with the tender and juicy inside - just makes my mouth water thinking about it. The other night I was craving chicken but I didn't want to leave the house. I also didn't want to fry anything in a bunch of oil because I didn't want to deal with the mess and of course it's not healthy.

 I like to put Frank's red hot on top of these for a little extra spice. Or you can serve with Ketchup. or both! :) 
Ingredients:
2-4 Chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup Milk
4 TBS Butter
Directions:
1. Heat butter over medium / med-high heat
2. Add the Italian bread crumbs and milk into separate bowls.

3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper 


4. Dip into milk, then dip into the breadcrumbs, and then add to med-hot pan.


5. Once hot, add the chicken and fry on each side for 4-5 minutes depending on size.




I served these with my potato and pepper mixture.
So delicious!

Tiger Stripe Brownies

These take me way back to my childhood when I used to get together with my best friends and we would make these, watch movies, then scarf them all down.  For me there is nothing better than a warm dessert topped with ice cream. And these hit the spot. A warm brownie with swirls of peanut butter. I've been making these for over 10 years, so you know they must be good!

(about 1-2 min) 3) In a separate bowl, beat peanut butter and oil for 1 min 4) Add sugars and beat until mixed. 5) Add eggs one at a time until combined.  6) Add vanilla, flour and salt 7) Take 1/3 cup of the mixture and ad...

Curry Chicken in the Crockpot

Image
I love Indian food. I have tried numerous recipes at home trying to replicate the wonderful flavors that come from the authentic restaurants - no such luck. This recipe comes pretty darn close though. I think the simmering in the crock pot helps bring the spices out and hide the tomato taste. I like it spicy so I added cayenne and red pepper flakes - you can always omit these or lower these if you don't want the spice. Ingredients: 1.5 lb chicken, diced 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes 1 large onion, diced (or 2 small) 3 garlic cloves 3 TBS butter 2 TBS ginger 1 cup chicken broth 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) 1/4 cup diced cilantro 1 cup sour cream Spice mix: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 2 TBS brown sugar 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp turmeric 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp garam marsala 2 tsp chili powder Directions: 1. In slow cooker, combine tomatoes, onions, garlic, butter, ginger, and ...
