Chicken Strips

Warning: Delicious, but fattening. I’ve made two considerations to make this recipe healthier. I only use sea salt in my kitchen. We are still young, but sodium intake is a major consideration in my household as my husband has high blood pressure. Canola oil is healthier than most cooking oils.

2 lb. Chicken breast (cut into strips)

2 c. Flour

1/4 c. Garlic Powder

2 T. onion salt

1 T. sea salt

2 lg. eggs

1/4 c. milk

1) Pour oil, I prefer canola oil, filling a large skillet half-way. Heat oil while preparing chicken.

2) Beat eggs and add milk.

3) Mix all dry ingredients: Flour, Garlic Powder, onion salt, sea salt in separate container.

4) Dip chicken in egg mixture, then dry mix. Set chicken aside until all is coated.

5) Place chicken in oil. Cook for 10 min or until golden brown.

In the Beginning

Who I am?

I’m a recently married, full time pre-law student, mother to a four-legged child and quite frankly in love with food. The food I love to cook is the food I ate as a child. Food infused with love. I bake often. My favorite dish to eat is spaghetti, although it’s far from my favorite to prepare as it is routine. Experimenting is often a bane of contention within my marriage, although my wonderful husband raves when things go correctly.
