I love fried chicken but it is so bad for you that I try to avoid it as much as possible. I have found baking chicken to be a good alternative but sometimes I miss that crunch. Enter crispy balsamic chicken. With the texture from the breadcrumbs and the amazing taste sensation of garlic and balsamic vinegar, this is a recipe you are likely to add to the rotation. Be sure to check out part one of this episode for Oven Roasted Potatoes with Garlic and Rosemary. They make a great side for this one.
Ingredients
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (I used Italian)
1/2 teaspoon dry parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 egg whites (I used the egg beater style ones)
2 boneless chicken breasts
salt & pepper
Directions
Put bread crumbs, parsley,garlic powder,and salt in medium bowl and mix.
Whisk together vinegar and egg whites in smaller bowl.
Dip chicken in vinegar mixture then dry mixture.
Place on sprayed cookie sheet.
Spray the top of the chicken breasts with cooking spray (I used butter flavored)
Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Bake 400 for 30-40 minutes, till fork tender and juices run clear.
Today’s recipe comes from overhearing a conversation at work between a few coworkers. After hearing the words buffalo chicken ring I had to find out the details of the conversation and obtain a recipe. What came next was something I found very exciting. I am happy to report my listening skills paid off with this little dish. Quick, easy and very tasty – this treat will make you popular at the next party you host or attend. (more…)
In an effort to make at least one healthy dish, we take on some chicken tacos with a surprising result. In only about 15 to 20 minutes, we were rewarded with some very tasty tacos that look good and are good for you. This is definitely a recipe to give a try for those days when you don’t want a heavy meal but you want a tasty treat. (more…)
It’s Wednesday night and you don’t feel like cooking a big meal but you also don’t feel like takeout. You start to give in to just having a bowl of cereal and then it hits you. Sweet fried chicken!
Perhaps one of my favorite chicken recipes out there – sweet fried chicken is easy, takes very few ingredients and is simply the best fried chicken I have ever tasted. However, just chicken fingers is hardly a meal and Elisabeth stepped up to fix some quick mac n’ cheese. So quick, in fact, she prepared it while the chicken was cooking.
I have to add that my good pal Greg over at Freezer Burns pointed out that technically my mac n’ cheese was really bow-tie/farfelle n’ cheese. Who am I to question the Frozen Food Master and thus the title has been amended.
