If it were up to him, he would have this cereal every morning, without fail. Recently I have been trying to help him branch out a bit more and this cereal made its way into our grocery cart:
No Field of Dreams for the Sweet Pea family. The flakes are beyond crispy, they are borderline gravel.Instead of pitching the cereal (SPH is in school, after all), I fished out the berries and we're turning it into the coating for our homemade chicken tenders tonight. Here's a quick and easy recipe for taking whatever cereal, cracker or pretzel you have in your pantry into a really healthy and tasty dinner.
Tender Chicken Tenders
Approximately 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into tender pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c milk
1/2 c flour
1/4 t salt and pepper
2 c crushed cereal, crackers or pretzels
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t paprika
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
In three large, shallow bowls place the following: in bowl #1, mix the egg and milk. In bowl #2, mix the flour and 1/4 t salt and pepper. In bowl #3, mix the crushed items and remaining ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dip each chicken tender into each bowl, and then onto a greased cookie sheet or pizza stone. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle.
**Notes**
You can season the flour and crushed cereal with whatever seasonings you desire. This recipe is a good base. Also, if you use pretzels, do not add the additional salt with the pretzels, as it will be too salty!
