Ultimate Chicken Fingers

Nancy sent in a couple of great chicken recipes. She Writes:
I know this is a very corny recipe, but it's fast and easy, once you get the system going and probably not too expensive, either. This makes about four servings, although my son Jake and I sometimes finish up the whole lot at one time. Shows you why I'm now on Weight Watchers.
Ultimate Chicken Fingers

Utensils:
  1. Cookie Sheet
  2. Measuring Cups and Spoons
  3. Chopping board
  4. Sharp Kitchen Knife
  5. Cooking Spray
  6. 1-gal. plastic resealable food-storage bag
  7. Aluminum Foil
Ingredients:
  1. 3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 1 lb.), cut crosswise into 1/2" strips
  2. 2/3 cup Bisquick (or other brand) baking mix
  3. 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
  4. 1/2 tsp. paprika
  5. 1 egg, slightly beaten
  6. 3 Tbsp. olive oil (Kosher substitute for butter)
Instructions:
  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Line cookie sheet with foil & spray foil with cooking spray.
  3. In 1 gal. plastic bag, mix Bisquick mix, salt and paprika.
  4. Dip half the chicken strips into egg
  5. Place in bag of Bisquick mixture. Seal bag, then shake to coat.
  6. Place chicken on cookie sheet. Repeat to use up remaining chicken.
  7. Drizzle olive oil over chicken.
  8. Bake 12-14 min., turning halfway through bake time with pancake turner, until no longer pink in center.
Some preparation, though fairly easy. We leave this at a 3 stars as it does require planning and an oven. Nancy sent this one in with the addition of cheese, however, cheese being a milk product cannot be used with chicken (considered meat) in a Kosher kitchen.

Chicken, you just have to love it's versatility.

I have one similar to this. In place of the pancake mix, I use Panko (japanese rice flakes)

The rice flakes are a healthier substitue to bread crumbs or flour type of coating. I add orange zest to the seasonings you have listed.

Mix the seasonings, dip the chicken strips in the egg and coat with seasoning. Re-dip chickne in egg and roll in rice flakes.

Drizzle with olive oil and bake.

This sounds delicious and really easy. I like using boneless skinless thighs and will give this a try!

Baking Powder

This is the last of Paula's recipes for "food & cooking staples" so far. She writes: Sometimes you run out of an item midway through baking. It is fun to be able to make the missing content out of items you have sitting in your cupboards. Baking Powder Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Just whisk together until evenly blended Baking Art Print 12 in. x 6 in. Buy at AllPosters.com Fifty Percent (50%) of all revenue of any product purchased through Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen goes to help feed needy families in Israel. The funds are donated directly to the needy families - regardless of religion, race or creed. The remaining 50% will be donated to a Rape Crises Center for Women in Israel. Paula obviously has a knack in the kitchen. I took this recipe but remember folks it implies you have Cream of Tartar and implies Cornstarch and Baking soda. If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al

Shrek Cookbook - Book Review

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States. Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8). It's 30+ recipes come in Ringbound Hard Cover, so the pages can be turned easily while the book lays on a counter top. The font is large, catering to the child and p

How It All Began...

Image
The idea of a book on cooking for single and busy parents honestly all began with an email a few years ago when someone was complaining to me that all the books they seem to see were junk books written by celebrities making much-ado-about-nothing. They went on to rant about the cook books that were being produced by Gourmet chefs and the like that had dishes which took a whole month's pay to create and needed like 10,000 pots - and they still never came out right. "Why the hell doesn't someone write a normal cook book that normal people can use to learn how to cook?" this person asked knowing that I had taught myself how to cook since I divorced. I had to. I had kids to feed! And oh boy, can kids eat! I shrugged and let it go. Actually the whole subject did not interest me at the time. I was in the middle of getting some fiction WIP's together and working on my non-fiction book at the time " Three Weeks In Jenin ". Writing a cook-book was the furthest t
