I love fried chicken, like I LOVE it. But, I only eat it about once a year, because it is awful for you. So I decided to try my hand at a healthier version. It turned out pretty darn good.
Here's what you will need
3 chicken breasts with bones and skin removed.
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup fat free milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
olive oil.
Preheat your oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside. Heat olive oil in skillet.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. In separate bowl mix milk and egg, whisk well. Slice the chicken breast lengthwise so that it's thin. Dip chicken into milk/egg mixture. Then dredge in breadcrumbs. Place chicken in single layer in the skillet, cook 3-5 min each side. Really just long enough to brown the breading so it doesn't fall off. Once browned, place on lined baking sheet, and bake for about 15 min, until done. Set on a napkin to drain any excess oil. Enjoy!

Smoked Paprika Pork Chop w/ Bell Pepper, and Corn Relish and Roasted Potato Wedges
- In trying to find a new way to cook pork chops I ran across this, and decided to make it for dinner. Of course I made a few changes here and there, and you are getting my version. My husband really doesn't like pork chops and I have only found one other recipe that he would be willing to eat more than once. He really enjoyed these, and said he looked forward to having them again. It was super easy, and pretty fast to fix too.
- What you need for the Pork Chops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can no salt-added whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
- 4 (4-ounce) center-cut boneless pork loin chops, trimmed
- Cooking spray
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped red bell pepper, ground coriander, dried thyme, and corn; cook 3 minutes or until the bell pepper is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in red wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Spoon relish into a bowl.
Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and paprika; sprinkle evenly over pork. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with relish.

Dash of Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
1 1/2 sticks Butter (that's 3/4 cup) cut into chunks

Preheat oven to 350. Put Flour and Sugar in bowl, add butt a few chunks at a time, mashing them into the flour/sugar till it's all crumbly. Then add cinnamon, and whipping cream. mix with your hands till like a think dough. Then add your Cranberries (or whatever you want) fold it in really well. Form into a ball. Put a sheet of wax paper on the counter. Put dough ball onto the wax paper and press it into a disk. You want it about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, you can make it thinner or thicker if you prefer.
