I stumbled upon what is coming to be a favorite dinner.

I wanted to find a healthier way to cook the chicken strips we like.

I decided I would bake them, but didn’t have any Shake-n-Bake for Chicken. I didn’t have any regular flour, either, since that’s one of the things we don’t stock anymore. I DID have some Shake-n-Bake for Pork, though, and I decided to use that.

It actually had much more flavor that the bake for chicken and we really like it. My husband even requests it now.

Cut boneless chicken breasts lengthwise. (One breast makes 4 or more strips for us.) Coat with a thin coat of the Shake-n -Bake and place on a baking sheet. 30 minutes in a 400 degree oven and they are ready to serve with a salad or veggies. YUM. (Two strips is a serving. I freeze the leftovers for another meal.)

On the Other Hand…

I made a “Slow-Cooker Turkey Chili” last night. The recipe is from Delish.com

My husband called it a ‘stew’ rather than chili, but then tasted it and said it was, “Yummy!” When I asked if we should freeze the rest of it, he said, “No, I want to have more tomorrow.”

High praise, indeed.

Thank you, Delish.com

Betty Crocker I Ain’t

I spent half of the morning and afternoon trying a new recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. They were for my husband, who is a Type II diabetic, and I’ve been trying recipes to see if I can find one that is very low sugar and tastes good.

I made quite a mess, filling the dishwasher with tools and implements, bowls, etc. At one point, my husband said, “That smells good!”

We let them cool a bit and each tried one.

Back to the drawing board….
