Ranch Chicken Strips

I LOVE chicken strips!!! If we go out to eat I usually get them if they are on the menu. So i love to try new recipes for them!

http://blogchef.net/ranch-chicken-strips-recipe/

Ingredients:
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips)
1 cup corn flakes (crushed)
¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 (1 ounce) package hidden valley dry ranch dressing mix
1 cup milk
1 egg
Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish. In a shallow dish combine crushed corn flakes, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and dry ranch dressing mix. In a small bowl beat together eggs and milk.
Step 2: Dip each chicken strip into the egg/milk mixture and then roll in the crushed corn flakes/ranch dressing mixture. Repeat until all chicken strips are well coated.
Step 3: Place onto a greased baking sheet and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees). You can also deep fry these. If deep frying the time will be less.
(Makes 6 Servings)






They were amazing!! I didn't have corn flakes so i used bread crumbs. My husband dipped them for me, i caught him licking his fingers after. They were good without any sauce, althoug i still used my honey mustard...because i can't not. I WILL be making these again!!

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

I had honestly never had chicken tacos...so I looked at this and saw how easy it was and figured, why not?

Crockpot Chicken Tacos
Recipe from Tasty Kitchen
Serves: ~12 people

1 Envelope Taco Seasoning (I use Old El Paso Reduced Sodium)
6 Pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 16-ounce jar Salsa (I switch between brands, but Newman's Own is my favorite)

Dump everything into a crock pot and give it a little stir to blend the seasoning with the salsa. You do not need to add any water to the taco seasoning. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. When done, the chicken should shred easily when stirred with a fork.

For tacos, serve the chicken with soft flour tortillas, guacamole, lettuce, shredded cheese and/or sour cream. This is very versatile and can be used for enchiladas, nachos, tostadas, quesadillas, etc. Any leftover chicken can then be used for tortilla soup (make it the next day or freeze the chicken to use at a later time).







This is a winner! I loved it! My husband enjoyed it a lot. I didn't have enough chicken so ended up using some canned as well.
