Chicken and fries...a meal loved by many. Unfortunately, the typical chicken and fries meal is loaded with grease and high in calories. I found a recipe on Pinterest that I am liking. Instead of frying the chicken in a bunch of grease, you will bake them instead. It's such a healthier alternative!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. thyme
- 1/4 tsp. parsley
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
- 1 and 1/2 lb. chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir until mixed well. Set aside.
3. Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into a separate bowl
4. Dip the chicken in the olive oil and then into the dry ingredients making sure both sides are coated. Place on baking sheet.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping once. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you want and serve warm. Chicken internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
For the homemade fries I cut up sweet potatoes length wise into steak fry strips. Then, put in a large Ziploc bag. Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Season Salt. Shake with bag closed then lay then out onto a baking sheet and cook until they're crisp or for about 25 minutes.
*I don't measure my olive oil or seasoning here. I just make sure I have enough in there to evenly coat all the fry strips without totally drenching them in olive oil.
I hope your family enjoys this tasty meal!
