SUPPER: PART DOS

Remember a couple weeks back I told you S made dinner. My ninos love sushi, soup dumplings, and chicken fingers. So, when it comes to dinner time they are opinionated and willing to help. When I realized how keen S was when it comes to preparing a meal, I jumped on that. I taught her to crack eggs, measure, and season. Now, I feel pretty confident she can put together a few small meals on her own that we all love. Tell me who doesn't like chicken tenders?

I do have to say our version of chicken nuggets are on the healthy side, but that is not to say they aren't delicioso. 

STEP UNO:

I purchase my tenders from Trader Joe's, and yes they are organic. Injected hormones scare me, so I try and avoid them. Also, Trader Joe's has a great price point of a variety of organic products.

STEP DOS:

Crack two large organic eggs into an empty bowl. In a separate bowl add half a bag of bread crumbs (I like the Trade Joe's bread crumbs), then season the bread to taste. I add lemon zest, sea salt, and a few glugs of olive oil. 

STEP TRES:

Dip baby dip!!! Take your tenders dip them in the egg yolk, then the bread crumbs, and place your breaded tender in a baking dish. I preheat the over and 425. When all the tenders are breaded just pop them in the oven for 30 minutes. Flip them over at the 15 minute mark. 

After 30+ minutes your tenders are complete. If you like them extra crispy leave them in the oven longer and coat the bottom of your baking dish with olive oil. 

AL FIN,

Mel
