By popular demand....Chicken Tenders -- Homestyle

My daughter mentioned (rather pointedly, I might add) that I hadn't posted here for a while, and asked if I could post the recipe for the Chicken Tenders I make that she and her dad both love.

The recipe is so simple I'm almost embarrased to write it out, but since she asked, here it is:

Mom's Chicken Tenders

white meat chicken (I use boneless chicken breast pieces) -- the equivalent of one chicken breast piece per person
flour to dredge in (Wondra Flour works real well, but all purpose is fine)
sesame oil (peanut oil will work too)

Cut the chicken into bite size pieces (this is easiest if the chicken is still slightly firm from being frozen)

Lightly flour the chicken

Heat the skillet (HOT!), put a little oil in the pan, fry the chicken pieces until nicely browned and the chicken is done all the way through.

Salt lightly and enjoy!

NOTE: these are really good on top of a Ceasar salad

Good thing she said something; I was hoping for a new recipe. But complaining about a lack of new posts would be the proverbial pot calling the kettle black! These sound yummy, very easy (helpful for the culinarily challenged), and a nice break from the soups this weather seems to demand. I even think I have some chicken breasts in the freezer already!

Be sure and let me know how they come out....a "guinea pig chef" is always a good thing to tell if I'm writing these properly!
