Chicken Fried Chicken?

I know, crazy right? My country cookin' friends seem to think so too. I, on the other hand think it is a great idea.

Most southern cooks talk about chicken fried steak or chicken fried pork. Well, why not chicken fried chicken? No bone, no dark meat less grease. Sounds good to me. Since my mom is an amazing cook and doesn't shy away from any recipe, I thought I can do it too.

So even with the mocking from others I tried it. Turned out great. The kitchen smelled like home cookin at it's finest.

I will tweek the breading recipe spices a a bit next time.

My Chicken Fried Chicken Recipe

4 Chicken Cutlets

1/2 cup GF cornmeal
1/2 cup grated GF cornflake cereal
1/2 tsp garlic
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp red crushed pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt

1/2 cup almond milk
1 large egg
Canola oil

Add milk and egg together in cereal size bowl. Mix well
Add all dry ingredients in cereal size bowl. Mix well.

Heat canola oil in large frying pan. About 1/4 inch in the bottom is good. Heat until it bubbles a bit.
Dip chicken cutlets into liquid mixture, coat well. Then dip cutlet in dry mixture. Coat well.
Put in frying pan. Fry for four minutes each side, until browned well.
Put on paper towel to soak up excess oil and let cool a bit before eating.

My two best critics, my Jack Russell Terriers couldn't wait to try a bite and both asked for seconds. Tee hee. Of course, a bite means little tiny piece. When I told them "all gone" they asked for their nighttime snack of peanut butter in their Kongs. So much for taste.

Have a Health-a-licious Day.

Everyday Eating & Mardi Gras

The beauty of eating gluten free is that it is simple. It takes you to core eating. Healthy foods. The difficulty is finding delicious healthy foods. Here are some of my everyday staples. Mind you, I love vegetables. Fresh vegetables are my favorite. Flash frozen are a far second. For a quick fun snack or even meal. Fresh green beans and Bella mushrooms. Microwave in a covered dish for 2-3 minutes to steam. For fun and food variety each month, my hubby and I like to follow themes with the seasons. This year we had home cooked New Orleans cuisine on Mardi Gras Tuesday. A great tasting gluten free sausage was our mission. We found one we love, Aidelles Cajun Andouille Sausage. Be ready, it is spicy. It is everything you are looking for in a sausage. Gluten Free, no MSG, no Nitrates, no added Hormones, no artificial ingredients. Whoo! Almost like making your own sausage. We tried Zaterain's Jambalaya mix last year. We tried Zatarain's Dirty Rice thi...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef ...
