Kid friendly chicken ideas?!
Answers: I have three bone in chicken breasts that I took out for dinner tonight and I don't know what to do with them. I was thinking of chunking them up, breading them, and baking them but am open for other options. The kids are starving when I get home so the quicker the better.
They will love chicken fingers, Here is the recipe.
Mix 2/3 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp of paprika, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese in a sandwich bag and shake up.
Then slice the chicken into strips, dip in a slightly beaten egg, place them in the bag andd shake until fully covered.
Take each chicken strip and place on a baking tray, put it in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
& Voila!Serve with fries and a variety of dips.
If you have any spaghetti sauce you can put the breasts skin side down in the sauce and simmer about 30 minutes. Serve with pasta .
Cook them the usual way and the last 5 minutes pour some salsa over it and simmer it a bit. Microwave some potatos and make a quick mashed potato to serve with it.
