Bonus recipe! Because right now I'm on the blog, plus dinner was yummy. So here is one of my own creations!
Fried onion Panko crusted chicken.
Ingredients:
Small container of frenches fried onions
Panko bread crumbs
1 egg
All purpose flour
Chicken breasts
Olive oil
Directions:
I find it easier to set out three paper plates and a small bowl as this gets messy and it's easy clean-up.
Beat that egg with a fork! In the small bowl! Add flour to one plate and the Panko bread crumbs in another. Take a handful of the frenches fried onions and literally crush it with your hands onto the top of the bread crumbs like your the hulk.
Wash your chicken breast and get rid of all that gross chicken slime it always seems to have, yet we still continue to eat it.
Dip your chicken into the flour first. This helps lock in the juices. (As opposed to chicken slime!) Followed by a quick dip in the egg bath. Let all the excess egg drip off. And throw that sucker on top of the bread crumbs. Do not pick up the chicken and flip it over until you've coated the top with bread crumbs. Really pack them on there. Flip it over and make sure to pack the bread crumbs onto the other side as well.
Add some olive oil to a warm pan. (It's easier to spread around the pan if it's warm!) you probably want about a table spoon of olive oil per chicken. Keep your pan on medium heat. Once the oil is heated up throw in your chicken. It's about 5 minutes each side or until chicken is firm and crust is a nice golden brown. Voila!
This is what I served the chicken with:
Cabbage steaks!!! (Randy loved these!)
1 1lb cabbage head.
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 smashed clove a of garlic
Pepper and salt.
Preheat Oven to 400F. Place rack on middle rung.
Cut stem off the cabbage. Continue to slice cabbage in 3/4 inch slices.
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray like Pam. Rub each side of the cabbage with the garlic.
Using a brush coat each side of the cabbage with the oil.
Then sprinkle some black pepper and some kosher salt.
Bake for 30 minutes. Flip and do it again.
These were delicious! I totally recommend eating and making them! Super easy! No more waiting till St. Patty's day for cabbage!
