Great for Kids!!

This one is sooo good. It is perfect for kids of all ages! Dad found this in a magazine and altered it a bit, and wooo hoo it is tasty! It is great with tenders but I think if you have kids it would be perfect as nuggets( just cut the tenders into chunks) ... cooking times would probably need to be adjusted. I am sorry I didn't take any pictures.... it was gone too fast and that pesky camera is still missing. Please remember these measurements are not exact and probably never will be in this blog!!

Cheez-it Chicken

1¼ lb chicken tenders
2 cups Cheez-It Cheddar Crackers
¾ tsp fresh ground black pepper
½ tsp fresh ground white pepper
Big pinch of cayenne pepper
1 egg
2 Tbs Dijon mustard
2+ Tbs water
2 Tbs olive oil or cooking spray

Set your rack in the bottom 1/3 of a 475 degree oven. Spread the olive oil over a cookie sheet. Blend the Cheez-Its in a food processor until a fine powder and put in a bowl with the peppers and blend thoroughly. If you dont have a food processor....get one...or put them in a freezer ziplock and beat the hell out of em with a rolling pin or mallet. Mix the water and mustard in a bowl until the mustard is completely dissolved, then beat in the egg. Dip the chicken tenders into the egg then coat with the cracker mix and arrange in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes then turn the pieces over and bake another 8 minutes.

Dad dont edit this recipe..... I added an extra minute because my gas oven isnt as efficient as well as cooking spray because thats what I used! And to your surprise there are people on this planet who do not own food processors.

My parents are coming to visit this weekend so hopefully we will have some great food adventures to share with everyone!!!

Dad says: Try this with White Cheddar flavor Cheez-Its. It is even better!
