Has anyone tried Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious recipes? I have had all intentions of doing so, but didn't until tonight. We went with the chicken strips since a few people had asked about the chicken with the macaroni and cheese and I hated to admit those were from Tyson...
So, you'll need some pureed broccoli (or spinach or sweet potatoes or beets).
*1 c. breadcrumbs
*1/2 c. ground flaxseed
*1 TBSP. grated Parmesan cheese
*1/2 tsp. paprika
*1/2 tsp. garlic powder
*1/2 tsp. onion powder
*1 c. broccoli puree
*1 large egg, lightly beaten
*1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken (tenders or breast, cut into nuggets)
*1/2 tsp. salt
*Cooking spray
*1 TBSP. olive oil
In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed, Parmesan, paprika, garlic and onion powder in a shallow pan. In another pan, combine broccoli and egg with a fork.
Sprinkle the chicken with salt. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture and then toss them in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with the cooking spray and set over medium0high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Place the chicken nuggets in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until crisp and golden on one side (3-5 min.) Then turn and cook until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown and cooked through (4-5 min longer). Serve warm.
Ok, I was a little skeptical, but they were good. They actually tasted like the fried zucchini I posted a while back. My 3-yr-old wondered why the nuggets were green. They are. You won't be fooling anyone that there are veggies 'hidden' here. I would make them again, but probably try squash or sweet potatoes instead. Make sure the chicken is at room temperature and patted dry. Turn carefully or you'll lose the breading. But do try them.
