Picky Eaters: Broccoli and Chicken Bake

January 15, 2011 By Mommy Hates Cooking

I recently became a member of Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen. This site has amazing recipes from families all over the country. If you are looking for one in particular you are sure to find one there.

As I was browsing the site I found the recipe for Easy Chicken and Broccoli Bake. When I saw this I immediately thought this may be a good way to hide in the broccoli for my son, who as we saw in the broccoli post takes after me, he does not like it!

The change I made to this recipe, is that I used Gold ‘N Plump Ground Chicken. This was my first time using ground chicken, so I cooked it with 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil to add flavor to it. I had been told that it is best to add more seasoning to the ground chicken. I was very pleased with the chicken, and it is perfect for my son because he does not like the texture of shredded chicken.

I fully cooked the chicken before adding it to this dish. After it bakes in the oven for 20 minutes, I removed it, topped it with cheddar cheese and put it back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

How did it go over with my son? He ate every drop! It is definitely a winner in our household since it accomplished the goal, my son ate his broccoli. I ate it too, but I still can not seem to get over my hatred of broccoli!

Enjoy this kid friendly dish!

BBQ Chip Chicken

January 10, 2011 By Mommy Hates Cooking

I recently found this Crispy Potato Chip Chicken recipe on Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. When I first saw the recipe, I thought it was very interesting as honestly I have never heard of using potato chips as a breading. I must be out of the loop! I thought this was a fabulous way to use chicken tenders and a perfect kid friendly recipe.

I decided to mix it up a bit and use BBQ potato chips. I followed the recipe exactly substituting the regular chips for BBQ potato chips. I was very surprised when I tasted these, they were delicious! I did not know what to expect when I made them and they were so good I’ll be putting them on our menu plan more often!

I hope you find this dish as tasty as we did!

Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders

January 2, 2011 By Mommy Hates Cooking

There are some days when not only do I not feel like cooking, but I do not have time to cook either. Oh wait! That’s most nights!! Just kidding, I used to be that way, but I am getting better now. Really though it is after the holidays and we all need a break. The dish I lean to on days like this, is Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders.

Add this recipe to ZipList!

Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

10 Chicken Tenders
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp of Lemon Pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400*.

In a foil lined baking dish, I placed the thawed chicken tenders. I poured the lemon juice over the tenders and sprinkled with the pepper. This baked in the oven for about 20 minutes until the chicken was thoroughly cooked.

I usually add the vegetable we have on hand that evening, and dinner is served! This is definitely our go to meal for those nights when I just do not have time to prepare a meal!!

I like to eat mine with my favorite dipping sauces.

Enjoy!
