Chicken Cutlets 20180117

A post shared by easier4 me (@easier4me) on


Chicken cutlets are the best.

They are delicious and versatile serving as the star in many other dishes and good for days after the original meal.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 cup Progresso Italian Breadcrumbs http://amzn.to/2rfChTf
    or
    1 cup Progresso Italian Panko Breadcrumbs http://amzn.to/2DfwzT2
    Tip: Use Italian breadcrumbs without dried cheese.  Progresso is the go-to here at easier4.me.
    or make them gluten-free
    1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (recipe: http://bit.ly/2pYHnTf)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions:

  • Cut chicken
    • Cut off 1/3 pointy end
    • Butterfly remaining 2/3 section
  • Pound chicken
    Tip: Optional, but highly recommended for best results!
  • Heat oven to 225 F
  • Heat oil in large frying pan or electric skillet to medium-high ~ 335 F, at least 1/8″ oil coating entire surface
  • Combine eggs and milk, mix well
    Tip: Blend if you have time
  • Coat chicken with egg mixture
    Tip: You can coat them one at a time or coat them all in a large bowl
  • Coat each side of chicken with breadcrumb mixture
  • Add to pan trying to leave at least 3/4″ between pieces
  • Flip when you can see the outer edges beginning to turn whitish and the bottom is golden brown.
    Tip: Wait a few seconds between picking up the cutlet and putting it back down to let oil distribute below it
  • Cook until internal temp hits 165
  • Place on paper towel lined plate, uncoated paper plate, or perforated drying rack
  • Store in oven until all cutlets are cooked

Birch Benders Paleo Pancake Mix Review


Birch Benders Paleo Pancake Mix http://amzn.to/2D5SrQA

The results as prepared to the package directions:
Pancakes – Good
Waffles – Fail

Pancake notes:

Prepared as directed these make fine pancakes, and they were good with fruit added. I found the mix to be a bit thick especially after a few minutes. You may need to add a little water to get a good consistency. It also seemed to make fewer pancakes than I expected. I didn’t measure but felt it was less compared to a normal off the shelf just add water mix.
They got a little brown at the typical 365 I cook pancakes at but were better (although slower) around 350-355.

Interestingly when I cooked with no grease I got a smooth surface on the pancake, what you’d expect.
When the same pan was greased before cooking the pancakes had a rough surface.
The taste wasn’t affected, just making the observation.

Waffle notes:

Prepared as directed this mix does not make acceptable waffles. The resulting batter only filled about 2/3 of my waffle iron. The waffles took longer to cook than typical batter. The resulting waffle had an okay surface finish/crust, however, was barely edible. The waffle crumbled and fell apart and just didn’t taste good overall, not at all what I would have expected.
I will give them one more try before I permanently ban the mix from waffle making forever.

Conclusion:

This mix is a good choice for those looking for a gluten-free pancake mix. The pancakes were decent enough that I would eat this instead of the other regular mix found in our pantry.

Gluten-free Buffalo Chicken Bite Platter



Yield: Approximately 75-100 bites

Ingredients:
For a single meal for 4 people scroll to the bottom for ingredient quantities!

Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 425 F
  2. Add buffalo chicken bites seasoning mix to breadcrumbs in a bowl, mix well
    Tip: For more consistent bites divide your mix in two and add new mix as you go along.  Otherwise the mix will tend to pick up flavor from the marinade and get more flavorful as the quantity of breadcrumb mix becomes less.
  3. Combine Frank’s RedHot, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil in large bowl to create marinade
    Tip: Worcestershire sauce can be substituted by gluten-free soy sauce, or more Frank’s RedHot sauce.
  4. Cover a baking sheet or oven safe container with foil or parchment paper
  5. Lightly oil the baking sheet with olive oil
    Not required if using parchment paper
  6. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces
  7. Toss chicken in marinade until all fully coated
  8. Bread each piece of chicken
  9. Place pieces on the baking sheet leaving space between the bites
    Tip 1: The less space you leave, the less crispy your bites will turn out. You are better off using multiple sheets.
  10. Spray chicken lightly with olive oil
    Tip: Less is more.  Too much oil will result in soggy or gummy bites.
  11. Bake @ 425 F for 9 minutes
  12. Remove from oven
  13. Spray again lightly with olive oil
  14. Flip each bite
  15. Spray again lightly with olive oil
  16. Turn pan around 180 degrees and return to oven
  17. Bake @ 425 for 5 additional minutes, internal temperature should be 170 or above
    Tip: Measure the temperature a few of the largest nuggets, internal temperature can vary widely!
  18. Serve with blue cheese dressing, accompany with carrot and celery sticks if desired
  19. Enjoy!
