Fried Chicken Recipe

I love fried chicken tenders, but they are expensive to buy at the grocery store. I decided to try and make a recipe for at home. It is super crispy and delicious. 

 Fried Chicken Tenders

  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese 
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • oil for frying
Now cut up the chicken breasts into strips or cubes and set it aside. 

Now we are going to set up a breading station. You will need three separate dishes. In dish one crack the two eggs and take a fork to beat them up to make an egg wash. 
  

In the second dish dump the flour and season it with pepper. 

In the third and final dish add the crushed Ritz crackers and Parmesan cheese.

Place about 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan. Heat the pan over a medium heat. 

Now we need to bread the chicken. First roll it in the flour, then put it in the egg and last in the cracker crumbs. Continue until all chicken is breaded. 


Test your oil by putting a little flour in it. If the oil sizzles then it is ready for the chicken. Place the chicken in the pan and fry until golden brown on each side. It will be about 4-5 minutes on each side.


When both sides are browned, place the chicken on a paper towels to drain any excess oil and season with a little salt.


Enjoy!

Until next time,

Kara

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names ...

Friday Things

Blogging has been one of those things that has fallen to the wayside. Life gets busy. Anyone else with an almost two year old knows... you can't turn your back for a minute!  Anyways, I want to try to blog more often. It's a way to look back at things we have done and reflect. Time flies and you forget little things and my blog is a way to look back. So to catch up with us a little. Cassie will be 22 months this week. WHERE HAS TIME GONE? I mean we have an almost 2 year old. It's hard to think about. She is spunky, stubborn, sweet, and funny. She's talking more and more and getting louder at doing it. Our nephew has a bounce house at his birthday party and she loved it! She isn't too coordinated yet, but she will sure try to keep up with the older kids. PS. Do you see that little pony?!? I love it, but seriously if she doesn't have her hair in a pony tail it looks ridiculous. She is at the weird growth stage where she doesn't have a ton but it has a ...

Being a Mom is Hard Enough...Being a Perfect Mom is Impossible

I'll be the first to say it, being a mom is hard. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER, she is one of my two bright spots in my day (my hubby being the other). I never realized until she came along how hard tackling being a wife, mom, career, house, and life would be. I am a hard-worker and Type A personality. I like to do things well and on the first time, but there isn't enough time in the day to do it all. The expectations that have been set by society or other mom's isn't what I have to be and I need to remember that. I read an article by Simple As That , it was talking about how we need to stop letting perfectionism ruin motherhood. It really hit home. My Hubby and daughter don't care if I'm not dressed in fancy clothes with my hair in place or cook a 5 star meal for dinner, they will remember if I was present and engaged with them in whatever we are doing.  I've felt like I have blinked my eyes and my daughter's 2nd birthday is approaching. Time goes by so quick...
