Tonight I made homemade chicken fingers with Cesar salad. I love chicken fingers but store bought ones just have to many chemicals and preservatives in them for my liking. I want know exactly what has gone into my food. The chicken fingers i make are from Jamie Oliver and they are so simple to make. You can make a bunch of them and freeze them for another night.
chicken fingers
2 flat chicken breasts
about 1 1/2 - 2 cups bread crumbs
zest of one lemon
1 egg
2 tbs milk
sea salt
pepper
dried oregano
dried thyme
Combine all the dry ingredients with the lemon zest.
In a small bowl whisk the milk and egg until they are combined. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the chicken breast into 1 inch by 1/2 an inch strips. Dip the chicken into the egg to get it wet then transfer it to the plate with the bread crumb mixture, cover with bread crumbs and press the crumbs into the chicken. Put the chicken fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for 15 minutes.
For the salad I just use Romain lettuce, croutons and Cesar dressing.
Cesar Dressing
2-3 heaping tbs plain yogurt
1 heaping tbs grainy mustard
2 cloves of garlic
1-2 tsp lemon juice
I like to use the cheese grater so that you don't get a big chunk of garlic in your salad.
Add all the ingredients together and stir. feel free to add more or less of anything so that it tastes right to you.
This is such an easy dinner and only takes about 30 minutes to make.
