This one is for the KIDS!!

Homemade Chicken Strips

What you will need: 2 lbs chicken tenders or breast, salt and pepper, flour, 1 or 2 eggs, milk, 2 cups corn flakes, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 tbsp each or paprika, poultry seasoning, and McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning, 1/4 cup veg. oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

If you're using chicken breast, you'll want to but them into strips.  Season chicken with salt and pepper.  Put about 1 cup of flour in a pie tin or shallow dish. Beat the egg(s) and add a splash of milk in another shallow dish. I usually start with one egg and add more if needed; I just hate to waste eggs. In the food processor (large Ziploc if you don't have a processor), place corn flakes, bread crumbs and seasonings.  Pulse until combined.  Gradually add in the oil until it comes together.  Dump this mixture in another shallow dish.

You'll want an assembly line set up for this.  Dip the chicken in the flour and coat, dredge in egg mixture an then in the breading.  Place on a baking sheet that has been coated with non-stick spray.  Bake all the tenders for 15-20 minutes. 

Serve these with your favorite condiments; my kids prefer ketchup.  I also whipped up some coleslaw, but won't share the recipe because I wasn't happy with how it turned out. 

Note:  Adults love these too!
