What's For Dinner Wednesday's??


I am going to try and share each Wednesday a dinner recipe. I know I have gotten stuck in a rut and am always looking for new and easy, quick dinner recipes. Now that I am doing the once a month cooking with friends I will share what we had here.


Tonight was Parmesan Oven-Fried Chicken Sticks. I bought boneless, skinless chicken breast on sale and needed to get them in the freezer. I found this recipe and am going to use it next month for omac. It was really yummy. My kids dipped the chicken in ranch. I served it with rice and green beans.


Parmesan Oven-Fried Chicken Sticks


Ingredients


· 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs


· 1/2 cup crushed saltines


· 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese


· 2 tablespoons dried parsley


· 1/2 teaspoon Beau Monde, Old Bay, Poultry Seasoning, or ground celery seed


· 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or powder


· 1/2 teaspoon pepper or cayenne pepper


· 12 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinned


· 1/2 cup Italian-Reduced Calorie salad dressing


· Vegetable cooking spray


Directions


1. Directions for Cooking Day:


2. Combine first 5 ingredients; set aside. Cut chicken breasts crosswise into strips about 1/2 x 1/2-inch by whatever length, probably about 2 to 3 inches. Dip chicken in salad dressing; dredge in bread crumb-cracker-cheese mixture.


3. TO FREEZE - Flash freeze and bag in large Ziplock bag. Squeeze out air.


4. Directions for Serving Day:


5. Pick out as many strips as you want to cook and heat on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until hot and crisp.


6. NOTES - You may substitute buttermilk, regular dressing, or mixed up egg, but the Italian dressing has a really good flavor -- use garlic powder instead of garlic salt if you use salad dressing.
