(healthying) some comfort food


Living alone is not as bad as one might believe. Especially when you have a cat like mine that will sit across the table during meals.

This next dish is one i made a couple of weeks ago. I really wanted chicken fingers for dinner but I decided to turn it into a salad to (healthen) it up and get in my greens :)


Preheat oven 350
Ingredients:

lettuce/ bag of salad
honey mustard salad dressing
chicken tenders
1 egg (or 1 cup of buttermilk)
crackers
pepper
1/2-1 cup shreeded parmasan cheese
sliced almonds


To make the chicken fingers...
I took a couple of handfulls of crackers (such as ritz or natures promise) and crushed them up in a food processor. You could also place them in a zip lock bag and roll the bag over with a rolling pin the crush them. Mix in parmasan cheese and season with ground pepper.

In a small mixing bowl beat one egg.
Dip chicken tenders in the egg and cover with cracker mixture. You can do this by placing the tenders in the ziplock bag and shacking it until tenders are completely covered.

Lay chicken tenders on greased baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake for about 15 minutes.

When ready, slice tenders into strips and layer on top of salad. You can add almonds to this too and drizzle with honey mustard dressing.
