Quick and Easy Meal Idea

Sorry I don't have any pictures, but trust me when I say this is yummy. Remember the Lundberg Rice chips that I ordered from Amazon? We love them, but we've noticed that towards the end of the bag, there is a handful of crumbs with a strong concentration of the seasoning. It grates on me to just throw them away, so I had to come up with a solution.

Here's what I do...I save the crumbs until I have close to half a bag and crush them even more to make sure there aren't any pieces that are too big. Cut some chicken breasts into strips or nuggets, coat them with some egg that has been beaten and then dip into the chip crumbs. Place the chicken onto a broiler pan and broil on low until the chicken is done (15-20 minutes? I don't know for sure. I just watch it and cut into one to make sure. Obviously, the chicken turns white and the crumbs will brown a little.). It really is good! The chips not only give it a crispy texture on the outside, but they also provide the seasoning. It's a healthful alternative to fried chicken!

Some side options are a baked sweet potato (or sweet potato fries) with some coconut oil in place of butter, fresh green beans cooked with some garlic in some olive oil (sprinkle with some toasted almonds when the beans are tender) and of course a great salad. =)

That's funny, I was going to ask you if you'd ever made those because I bought sweet potatoes the other day to sprout and plant!
