I made it! We were able to eat from the pantry, fridge, and freezer until I could get to the grocery store tommorrow! We are out of eggs, milk, fresh veggies, and meat. But, we made it!
Tonight’s dinner was a bit of an invention!
I had chicken breast in the freezer, and I thought about grilling them with some BBQ sauce (YES. We grill in the winter. All winter long. The Good Eats Guy has been known to go out and grill in a snow storm if he has to. What can I say, we LOVE our grill!! Anyone else ever do this?!), but the Good Eats Guy turned his nose up. Then I wanted to make panko breaded chicken strips. I was out of panko. So I kept looking….and found some multigrain Food Should Taste Good chips! BINGO!
I put those little guys in a plastic baggie and got out the rolling pin to smoosh them.
You can see my assistant here using her own rolling pin to help out.
Then I dumped some chili power, cumin, garlic salt, and paprika into the chips. No measurements…just a few shakes of each spice!
I took two eggs and maybe 1/4 milk and mixed in a bowl.
Cut the chicken into strips.
Dip the strips into egg/milk mixture. Put in bag with chips and seasoning and SHAKE!
I baked at 400 degrees for 12 minutes…it may take you less…my chicken was still a little frozen! Whoops!
I also baked these on a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet! Just make sure to spray the wire rack! Works like a charm!
Served with the last of the lettuce we had and some green beans.
YUM!!! These were really good!
And that’s that for my week of pulling from what I had….I don’t think it turned out too bad! I’m just thankful that the lettuce I had didn’t go bad as I thought it would!
Now, to relax and hang out! I love three day weekends and that’s what I have!
My goals over this weekend include getting groceries, watching lots of football, and to fix this situation.
Can you say out of control?!!?
Look for pics of a clean silverware/utensil drawer coming soon!
What is something you want to accomplish this weekend?!?
Happy Friday!
That looks really good! This weekend, I want to relax for once. I am not very good at sitting on my booty. I’ll feel accomplished if I manage to be lazy!
I need, need, need to get organized this weekend as well….grocery shopping, some cooking, cleaning, you name it!
This weekend, I hope to enter in all my grades to roll over report cards.
Non school related, watch the King of Queens disc the Netflix fairy brought without worrying about every thing I have to do!
I need to clean my bathroom. That is the dreaded task of the weekend. :p
Plus, I’m making steak for the first time. Which I’m extremely nervous about. I’m a baker. This is way out of my comfort zone…
You’ll do great! Can’t wait to hear how the steak turns out!
oh my gosh, what an adorable little helper!
Great job with the fridge/cabinet/freezer clean out! And a very creative way around bread crumbs. The chicken fingers look perfect. And your helper is a cutie
My goals this weekend? Clean, relax, shop with my Mama, and watch lots of football!
That’s a really good idea, these look yummy! I have some of the olive chips sitting in my cabinet, maybe I will try this
PS We grill in the winter too – and by ‘we’ I mean my husband haha. He just cooked some steaks out there a few nights ago, but he had to shovel out a path through the snow on our deck first!
