Crispy Rice Cereal Chicken #Recipe Peg Cochran/Margaret Loudon

  

 

This was a real crowd pleaser.  My granddaughter gave it five stars.  I always have chicken breasts in the freezer but I didn't have any tenderloins.  I pounded chicken breasts until they were fairly thin and then cut them into strips.  Same effect but less expensive than tenderloins.  You can use name brand rice cereal for this but the store brand works just fine too.  You can also play with the spices and add or eliminate depending on your family's tastes.  Confession time:  I forgot the flour and just dipped mine in the egg and cereal.  It was still delicious.  This recipe is adapted from What Molly Made.

1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders tendon removed (or chicken breasts pounded thin and cut into strips) 

1/3 cup flour gluten-free if needed

2 large eggs

2 cups rice cereal

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

 

Place flour in one dish and beaten eggs in a separate dish

 

Combine rice cereal with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and black pepper.  Place in another dish.

 

Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then in egg and finally in rice cereal.

 

  

 

Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until temperature reaches 160 degrees.  Chicken will continue cooking to 165 degrees

 

 

  

 

When a wealthy local benefactor is slain on the farm, Monica has to figure out who wanted to cash in on the killing . . .

As Sassamanash Farms hunkers down for the long winter, Monica agrees to let the local animal shelter host their Christmas-themed fundraiser there. The draw of the event—a chance to have your pet’s picture taken with Santa—brings in animal lovers from far and wide. But when the crackling fire dies down and the festive holiday props are all carted away, Monica discovers a very un-jolly sight next to the barn—the dead body of one of the shelter’s biggest donors. With the farm’s good name in jeopardy, Monica goes to work to root out the killer.

By all accounts the victim was a charming and generous supporter of the shelter, but Monica discovers that he was loathed by those who knew him for being tight-fisted and unscrupulous. Suspecting money might be the motive, she turns her sights on his stylish wife and her lavish lifestyle, along with the manager of the struggling shelter, who stood to collect a hefty bequest from his will. But as Monica closes in on one final clue, the culprit closes in on her. Caught unawares, she’ll have to survive the brutal winter weather, as well as a cold-blooded killer . . .
