A Family Favorite!

Growing up, the dinner table was where my family and I would come together. We ate together, no matter how much homework there was. Between my allergies and my picky brothers, it couldn't have been easy to come up with recipes that appealed to kids AND grown ups. But my mom somehow managed it, night after night. This recipe was (and still is) a family favorite! It's great for a quick week-night meal!

Rice Krispy Chicken
**NUT-FREE**

You Need:
Adjust measurements according to desired serving 

• 2 boneless chicken breasts (on the bone/white/dark all work as well)
• 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
• 1 cup of finely ground rice krispies
• Garlic powder
• salt
• pepper
• paprika

Smash, or blend Rice Krispies into a fine powder. Pour into a bowl and add garlic, salt, pepper, paprika. Stir spices into mixture, and set aside. (Side note: My mom kept a Tupperware of this stuff in the spice cabinet. Just pour onto a plate, and you're set!)

Krispy Krums

Pour oil into a separate bowl.

If using boneless breasts, cut into individual sized pieces. Place chicken in bowl with oil. Chicken should be covered--if not, add more oil. 

Using a fork, remove chicken from oil and allow excess oil to drip off. 

Place chicken in bowl with Rice Krispy powder, and coat chicken in the powder. Cover a pan with tin-foil, and place chicken on foil. 

In the oven!

For a little extra fun, sprinkle some extra Rice Krispy powder onto the pan. Once you've coated all the chicken, pop it in the oven at about 350*F for about 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick the chicken is. If you're using meat on the bone, it will need a little more time. Cut into chicken to make sure it's done! 

Voila! This goes really well with spaghetti. Like, really well. Trust me.

Tastes like home. :)

And all those extra krispy crumbs on the foil? That's the scrape. My brothers and I used to fight over it. Enjoy. ;)
