I had a bag of Zaycon Foods chicken I had kept in the refrigerator instead of the freezer, and I was having trouble deciding how to cook it. On Sunday, my girls wanted pancakes, so while I was making them using Bisquick, a recipe on the box for Ultimate Chicken Fingers caught my attention, and I decided that would be how I would cook the chicken. Then, this week I received green beans and cherry tomatoes from Bountiful Baskets, and I thought they would make a nice side for the chicken fingers. So, here are the recipes for both!
Ultimate Chicken Fingers
Based on recipe here
What you need:
- 2/3 cup Bisquick mix
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt or garlic salt (I used garlic salt)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I didn’t use paprika)
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1 egg, slightly beaten
Olive oil - How to make it:
- Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with foil, and spray with cooking spray.
- Mix Bisquick mix, Parmesan cheese, salt and paprika in 1-gallon plastic zipper bag. Dip half the chicken strips into the beaten egg; place in bag of Bisquick mixture. Seal bag; shake to coat. Place chicken on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken. Spray or brush with olive oil.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until no longer pink in center.
- Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes
Based on recipe here - What you need:
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
2 cups cherry tomato halves
- How to make it:
- Place green beans in a large saucepan, and add enough water to just cover the green beans. Cover pan, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain off water, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic salt, pepper and basil. Add tomatoes, and cook stirring gently just until soft. Add green beans, and toss gently to blend. Cook just another minute or so, then remove from heat.
