Coastal Nest Cooks...Fried Chicken

My kids, above all other dinner, will SCARF this up. I had to take a piece off of Ryans plate because poor Daddy (BV) was only going to have 2 pieces to eat- and after a long day hanging siding at the coastal nest, well, he needed more than that!! Sheesh..

Simple recipe..as you can see- above we have...Costco boneless skinless chicken breasts (love these!) 4 eggs-needing to be beat.. salt pepper and flour. I only and always put my flour in a paper sack, so easy and not messy clean up. And Im down with that, girls..

Step one.. Cut the breasts into 4 pieces, I usually use 4 breasts, and an egg for each breast.

I almost always do this while the chicken is still near frozen, this flash frozen chicken is awesome because it seems to defrost very quickly.

Step 2 dredge all chicken strips into the flour, then into the scrambled eggs.

Step 3 salt and pepper those bad boys--alot..

Step 4 heat up some oil about 1/2 inch in your pan.

put them in, not crowding, until golden brown. They will NOT be done on the inside, but outside, lovely golden brown...MMMMM

Like that up there, before turning... I then bake these little golden nuggets for about 15-20 minutes on 400, or until they reach 170 degrees.

When I have it, I add a little parmesan to the tops before they go in the oven..MMMMM

Then theres the easy, really easy salad. Spinach in the box from Safeway organic section, parmesan cheese, a few crutons, and the asian salad dressing from the Pampered Chef salad dressing holder maker thingy.. (love that thing..)

Add the staple of the coastal nest, APPLESAUCE, and a nice big glass of milk~VOILA~

Dinner is served. I am not kidding, in about 45 minutes..

Kids, come eat!!!

(Let me know what you think..)
