Homemade Chicken Tenders

27 Jul 2017 Family, Recipes

My kids love chicken and rice, which is great. There are so many variations you can make of these two staples, veggies included, and this simple one has become a summer favorite. I know this is nothing crazy or fancy, but sometimes you just need an idea so here is one for you!

1 packet of spanish yellow rice

1 cup of frozen peas

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

1 cup of panko crumbs

1 lb. of chicken breast

I start by cooking the rice. I stumbled across this yellow rice packet while we were in Florida looking for quick meals to feed the kids, and it’s honestly SO good. I just cook it according to directions and then add frozen peas when it’s near done. The heat from the rice cooks the peas, starch + veggie DONE.

For the chicken, I buy the thin cutlets, or if I buy the breast I filet into thin “cutlet” or “chicken finger” shapes. In a skillet, heat the oil to get ready for frying. Simply salt each side, egg them (submerge them in a bowl of raw scrambled eggs, 2 usually does it), and then cover both sides in panko crumbs (I usually put the panko crumbs on a plate and just place both sides of the chicken down in the crumbs), and then fry. Cook until crispy on each side and until the chicken is cooked through, usually 5-7 minutes depending on how thin the chicken is. You can always experiment with your first one to see how long it takes, that’s what I normally do ๐Ÿ™‚ Also, to make this healthier, you could bake the chicken instead of frying!

I make a salad to go along with it with some more veggies, carrots and cucumbers, and everyone is happy! 20-minutes from start to finish <3

Have any family-friendly, quick dinners to share?? Please email me, and I’ll share!
