Shake 'n' Bake


While wandering the aisles of the supermarket the other day, I came across a box of shake 'n' bake. It looked promising, (like breadcrumbs and panko right?) so I bought it.

I baked 2 potatoes tonight, made a large salad and crispy chicken tenders. These were so easy, and suprisingly healthy too.

Here's the recipe:

8-10 chicken tenderloins- these are the boneless, skinless, little chicken breast pieces that are available in the meat/poultry section of the market

1 C. egg whites- we use the egg beaters type

2 packets of Shake 'n' Bake

Preheat oven to 400 and line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Rinse chicken and dip in egg whites. Add shake 'n' bake to a ziplock bag. Drop in egg dipped chicken tenders and shake. Lay chicken on cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

You don't need to turn the chicken pieces and they come out really crispy. The cool thing is that you don't need to use any oil to cook the chicken.

I'm going to try to emulate the ingredients and see how it turns out: It's going to look something like this-
1 cup Panko
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Adobo seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Everyone loved dinner tonight!
