My family is always asking me to come up with some new ways to eat chicken. They like chicken… but they get a little bored of ho-hum repeat recipes. So I’m excited when I come across a new chicken recipe that they love! This is one of them.
This recipe comes from a new cookbook by my friend Mary Younkin (Barefeet in the Kitchen blog): The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook: Simple Family-Friendly Recipes for Everyday Home Cooking (Page Street Publishing Co., Copyright 2016). This cookbook is perfect for those who are forever looking for good, new easy recipes to make for their families! Here are a few goodies in the book that I have bookmarked to make: Spicy Glazed Pork with Peppers and Pineapple, Sweet and Spicy Salmon with Broccoli, Lemon Butter Pasta with Tomatoes, Philly Cheesesteak Potato Skillet, Cheesy Ranch Chicken with Potato Wedges, Honey Chipotle Meatloaf, Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork, Italian Rice Pilaf, Ranch Dressing and Chocolate-Glazed Chocolate Chip Pound Cake. Yum!
This recipe utilizes chicken strips. They’re dipped in a spiced-up mixture and covered with panko breadcrumbs. The recipe in the book gives you two options for cooking the chicken- you can bake it, or you can fry it in a little bit of oil. I fried it… because I love crispy fried chicken!
Once you take the fried chicken out of the pan, a squeeze of lime juice and a generous drizzle of honey finishes it off. That sweet finish is what makes this chicken different and appealing to the whole family. We loved it!
