One of my favorite meals to create is using what I have in the pantry and fridge. I find it challenging and fun. Most of the best meals I have created have come from I find in my fridge and pantry. Unfortunately, while digging deep into the back of the fridge I sometimes find a science experiment gone wrong, very wrong....
This time was a little different because I was at my sisters for a weekend visit. I actually brought items from my fridge that I did not want to go to waste while we were away. One of the items was raw chicken tenders. I originally was going to put a breading coating on the chicken, but then I remembered my sister gave up bread for Lent. The first thing I saw in her cupboard was Ritz crackers. Perfect!
I simply finely crushed the crackers and mixed them with finely grated parmesan, pepper and garlic salt. I dipped the chicken in raw egg that I scrambled and then the coated it with the Ritz mixture. I placed the tenders on a wire rack that was on a backing sheet. I baked them 450 for 20 minutes. They were so good!
For another snack, I made a simple bacon and cheese quesadilla using the leftover cooked bacon from our breakfast.
In hindsight, although the quesadillas were delicious, I wish I had put the bacon in the Ritz mixture. Next time......
