*********************************************************************************
i don't claim to be a cook at all... in any way....but i do have to feed my kids every single day.
and that part of motherhood is not in my top ten.
i don't mind them eating...i just mind MAKING something every day...or the pressure to try to make something everyday.
because i can promise you i don't cook every day.
give me night feedings and diapers over cooking dinner every night.
not kidding.
this chicken is easy and yummy and my family likes it which makes the cooking a bit more enjoyable.
you could add lots more fancy stuff but this is all we use....no spices, no nothing.
plain.
and that is why all my kids eat it.
this is the way a friend waaaaay back in my second year of marriage made it for her family.
so i just copied her.
pour some oil in one container....maybe 1/2 cup.
if you run out just add more.
and pour in 1 cup bread crumbs and 1/2 cup parmasan cheese (yes...i know it's fake cheese)
stir it together.
i cut all the gross fatty stuff off the chicken because it makes me gag.
then i usually poke holes in the chicken breast with a fork or smash it a bit with a meat tenderizer.
but i forgot to photo that step.
dip the chicken in the oil....both sides.
then dip the oiled chicken into the bread crumbs and parmasean cheese mixture.
coat both sides really well.
ok....let's not even talk about my pans.
why do i still own this pan?
i am going to get new cookie sheets.
i am.
it's time. :)
Soooo.....put your chicken on the pan and bake it in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes
(or until it's done in the middle of the big pieces of chicken.)
we almost always eat this as a side with this chicken.
not advertising for them, my kids just LOVE this stuff.
we buy two family size boxes and it's gone every time.
and that's it.
it is very weird to see that rooster peeking out in the middle of my plate.
i didn't notice till i posted the picture.
hope that helps you with an idea for dinner at your house.
hey....how about YOU tell me what your easy GO-TO meal is that your family loves?!!!
and we could BOTH have ideas for dinner.
come on...it will be fun to read all the answers!
cool!
you rock.
i am looking forward to dinner already!
