Aunt Allie's Fried Chicken

8 to 10 Chicken breast
2 cups milk
2 eggs
hot sauce to taste
2 to 3 cups flower
Salt to taste
pepper to taste


First you will need to turn on the fry daddy to 375 then to wash the chicken cold water then set it to the side (or in sink that what I normally do with it) then get out 2 bowls and a plate and some paper towels. In the first bowl break open the 2 eggs then pour in the 2 cups milk and hot sauce to taste then mix with a fork. In the second bowl put in the 2 to 3 cups flour then add salt and pepper and mix with fork. Then put some paper towels on the plate to absorb some of the grease. Then take your first piece of chicken and dip it in the liquid bowl then in the dry bowl and repeat once then in to the fry basket and repeat until all chicken is battered and in the fryer let cook until golden brown and scoop up the basket and dump on plate and repeat until all chicken is fried. You might want to take off your rings and put them to the side. You can also make the little crunchies by dropping little bits of dough off of your fingers in to the grease. People always love the crunchies.

1-2-3 Chicken

This is something that just came about one night. I wanted something creamy with chicken and noodles. David and DJ don't eat rice ( I love it) so this is a compromise.

6-8 boneless chicken breast tenders (You can use 3-5 whole boneless chicken breasts)
1 can (small) cream of mushroom soup
2 cans (small) or 1 can (family size) cream of chicken soup
1 small can of milk
egg noodles (I use half a package -- it depends on how "noodley" you want it)
2 cans French style or Fresh cut Green beans
Other favorite veggies (if you want)
salt and pepper
garlic
olive oil or Pam

Have your skillet heating up on medium heat while you prep the chicken. Start the water to boil the egg noodles. When you put the chicken in the skillet, put the noodles in the boiling water.

Cut the chicken tenders into small pieces (usually each tender comes out to 3 pieces each). Don't be exact on this... just do a rough chop -- As Rachal Ray says. Have a skillet (fairly deep on) on medium heat. When you have finished chopping the raw chicken, pour about a tablespoon or so of oil in the bottom of the skillet. It should bubble a little since it has been getting hot while you cut the chicken. Add a little salt, pepper, and garlic (fresh is always best, but whatever you have works too). Now add the chicken pieces to the skillet. You have to watch this. Turn the skillet to about medium low now. If your chicken is browning too fast, add a little water to the bottom of the skillet -- just enough to cover the bottom of the skillet.

Once your chicken is cooked (it will be white and a little golden brown), add the three cans of soup mix right to the skillet. Mix the soups and the chicken. It is very thick right now. Add the milk. Stir well. Now add the green beans. Stir well. (This is when you add the favorite veggies you have -- I add carrots, corn,and peas. DJ will eat them that way!) Cover and let simmer on low about 10 minutes. Now add the noodles, stir well.

Of course fresh everything is best, but as a busy teacher, I do resort to frozen or canned veggies! I like broccoli in it too, only no one else in my house eats it, so I add it to my plate only! Yummmmmmieeeeee!

My guys love it with homemade bread or crescent rolls! A salad on the side is nice, but all your veggies are there!

Easy Breaded Chicken

Got this from allrecipes.com, it's called Angela's Easy Breaded Chicken. I cooked it the other night - it was so unbelievably easy, and yet it was very tasty and delicious. We had it with pasta and tomato sauce.

1 cup Italian-style salad dressing
2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Dredge chicken breasts in salad dressing, then coat completely with bread crumbs. Place coated chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
