Baked Fried Chicken
I just copied and pasted this recipe from Facebook, I haven't tried it yet.
{Baked Fried Chicken}
I am pretty sure someone has discovered the KFC secret recipe! It is DEAD ON! It is also baked...not fried and there isn't any skin! So you get to enjoy the taste of the seasoning, instead of pulling it off because of the slimy skin!
This is super easy and you are TOTALLY going to love it!
Place thawed chicken breast tenderloin strips in a bowl of milk. Let soak for 20-30 min.
Mix in a Gallon Size Ziploc or Large Bowl:
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 T Season All
3/4 tsp Pepper
1 c. Flour
2 tsp. Paprika
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 1/2 stick of butter into a few pieces and place in a 9x13 pan. Melt butter in pre-heated oven.
Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan. Lightly spray the pan, if needed, to make sure that there are no dry spots.
Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix. You can either shake the chicken in the bag, until coated, or dip each piece in the bowl until coated.
Place each piece of chicken in the pan.
Cook for 20 min. Turn each piece of chicken and continue cooking for 20 more minutes, or until cooked through.
ENJOY!

"Healthy" German pancakes
Here's the recipe I texted you guys about. They are really good! My friend just came up with it.
So simple:
4 eggs
1/3 c cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Blend it all in the blender then pour into a pan and cook like you would a pancake (you will have to experiment with the cooking spray/batter ratio and make them kind of thin) but once they are cooked they seriously taste just like German pancakes!
You can top with fruit and sugar free whipped cream or baked apples and cinnamon... Yum!
Paul and I are making a big effort right now to eat healthier and count calories to get summer-ready and in better shape... And it's not easy! I think this blog could be a great way to share any healthy tips or recipes we have with each other because I know varietybis hard for me, so ill post anything I come across and hopefully you guys can do the same (of course we can still post other yummy stuff too)
