Chicken-Schmicken 2 (or Wendy's Superb Chicken)


I must confess: you already know we eat a lot of chicken. So I'm always looking for new chicken recipes. Even if I have to make them up myself. So this particular one I thought of when I recently saw a recipe for Chicken Kiev. Though I love melted butter, I thought I might be a bit much, so I replaced it with mozzarella cheese. Probably not much better for you, but definitely less messy!

I started off with two chicken breasts and pounded out my days frustrations on them until they looked like this

The I breaded them with egg and plain breadcrumbs like so

The I pan fried them until they got that crunchy look, which doesn't take long when they are pounded out so thin.

I added pesto and mozzarella cheese like so

and then folded them over, secured them with toothpicks and added more cheese on top. I got a thing for cheese, OK?

Baked them in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 and the husband called them superb.

So I'm calling it Wendy's Superb Chicken!


Happy Cooking!

Chicken-Schmicken

I must confess: we eat a lot of chicken. It's good for you and easy. But lets face it, chicken gets boring really fast and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. My brother told me to try Funyuns as a coating. I thought he was crazy, until I ran out of ideas. So I tried it, really what did I have to lose?
Well I'll be damned if it isn't really good and the husband loves it! So I'm going to share with you what I do to make it.

Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts, 1 bag (snack size) of Funyuns and 2 eggs.


First I flatten my chicken with my meat tenderizer. 
Then I put all the Funyuns in a quart size back and use the meat tenderizer again to crush them up really fine. 
 


Beat the eggs and for fun I added a teaspoon or so of garlic. (you really could add almost anything for variety!)

The I dip the chicken in the egg mixture and coat with Funyuns. Pan fry over medium heat until cooked through.

It kind of looks like fried chicken but with out all the oil!


Happy Cooking!
