so at allrecipes i did the easy deviled chicken... because i only had 2 breasts instead of the 8 chicken breasts...i sliced mine into "tenders" and used the same amount of mayo, and crumbs. but i used 1/8 c. butter, 1/2 c. MIRICLE WHIP, 1 1/2 t. mustard, i c. crushed croutons, 3/4 c. breadcrumbs. i added a dash of emril essance like a tea. garlic bowder was probably a tbl. and a dash of oregano. i cooked it in a 400 degree oven for 45 min and then down to 350 for 10. though i dont think it is necessary. they turned out nice and golden. i would probably do it for 350 for 10-15 next time though. two breasts sliced at just under 1/3 in slice or so covered a 9 by 13 in pan. i definitely would take 8 breasts next time and use prabably cookie sheets like regualr tenders, just keeping it away from the edges and use 2 large sheets. i know i could eat half or all of this by myself now, but that is the hunger talking.....note i used miricle whip not mayo. and the notes i made were my alterations to the ingredients, otherwise i used the butter etc. but i didnt salt pepper the chicken...

the original recipe.
1/8 c. butter
1/2 c. mayo
2T mustard
8 chicken breast halves
salt petter
1 pkg herb stuffing mix
preheat oven to 350 and then melt butter, add to mayo and mustard and pour into pie pan (though mine was more like...pudding so i spooned)
season chicken with salt and pepper, roll chicken breasts in mayo and then dip into stuffing. place on lightly greased 9 by 13 and bake an hour and a half.

so for next time i would quadruple the recipe alterations i used...adding maybe a little more garlic and a little more mustard... a little. actually , there wasnt enough really to work easily with the breadings so i was thinking the ingredients were cheap enough i would probably make more. so i would make 6 times as much and make a whole bunch. enough then for like company or several meals...this would make 16 searvings...or 8 if you feed mike/.lol.

this is undoubtedly going to be a favorite and though it is far harder than buying premade tenders, it is so good and home cooked... and cheaper. goes so much further. and not processed chicken... ya! i will definitely make this again.
yum yum-k

so we have 995 followers to go before this can go public,... to the at community. so. today i made baked oatmeal. it was ok. i will have to do some fine tuning of the recipe as it was a little dry. the flavor as the recipe called for was kinda bland. the concept was good though. so off to the kitchen to try something new...
some kind of potato...yum yum-k

WELL TODAY,...

TODAY HAS BEEN CLEANING MAYHEM. THINK I WILL FIND AND TRY A NEW POTATO RECIPE AS MY STOMACH IS HURTING,..TOO MUCH LOADED TOAST LAST NIGHT, = STOMACH ACHE ALL NIGHT. MCDONALDS DURING RUNNING TODAY, = REALLY SICK STOMACH. WISH I HAD THE ENERGY TO MAKE CHICKEN SOUP,... THOUGH THE WEATHER IS SO NICE, I DOUBT SOUP WILL FLY NOW. MORE LIKE SPRING FOOD. GLAD I HAVE A START ON SPRING CLEANING AND PURGING, BUT,... A LONG WAY TO GO. I TOOK DOWN THE WINDOW CLINGS OF JESUS AND THE SNOWFLAKES, AND I LAMENT A LITTLE ABOUT THE ANTICIPATION IN WHICH WE WELCOMED THAT SEASON OF LIFE. THE FIRST CHRISTMAS FOR THE BOYS AND KAYLAS 2ND. NOW SHE IS THREE AND SUCH A BIG GIRL. I THINK ON THE FUTURE AND WONDER WHAT NEXT YEAR WILL BRING. WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF HAVING THE CHANCE TO PUT IT ALL UP AGAIN, I TAKE IT DOWN, WAITING FOR SUMMER AND FRESH AIR, VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS TO COME, THEN HEAT AND THE ANTICIPATION OF A COOL DOWN. I SEE MY TOY SOLDIERS AND CANDY CANES OUTSIDE WITH THE WREATHS AND LIGHTS AND I HAVE A LET DOWN FEELING AS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR IS PAST WAINING, AND AS MY SECOND FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR IS SOON TO ARIVE....I TRY TO THINK ON DAFFODILS,...THE ENTERANCE AND EMBRACE OF SPRING. LOVE IT, AND THEN THE WORK OF SUMMER. I EVEN LOVE THAT AND THE HONEST TO GOODNESS DIRT ON YOUR HANDS WORKING IN THE SUNSHINE,...I REALIZE THE LESS GLAMOROUS WORK OF HOUSE CLEANING IS MORE IMPORTANT. SO I SPEND MY NEXT FEW WEEKS REALLY FOCUSING DAILY ON GETTING CAUGHT UP ON YEARS OF TOO BUSY, SICK, BEDREST, AND BABIES...I GET CAUGHT UP SO I CAN MAINTAIN AND GO INTO THE SUMMER JUST ENJOYING THE FACT THAT THERE IS MAINTENENCE AND NEW OUTSIDE GOALS TO ACHIVE. ON THAT NOTE,...THE GARDEN IS PLANNED AND THE SEEDS PURCHASED, NOW MORE FENCING AND POLES AND THE HOME MADE TOMATO FENCING THAT WILL WORK SO WELL. I HAVE TO BUY HERBS YET AND TALK TO A HERBY FRIEND ABOUT THE BEST WAY TO GET IT GOING,...COME ON OVER LINDA,,...:) AND THEN I CAN TRY SOME FRESH HERBED CHICKEN ETC... YA!!!! SUMMER IS HERE, (THOUGH THERE IS STILL SNOW ON THE GROUND.) HOPE EVERYONE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO A WONDERFUL WEEK AND SUNSHINE AND GREAT SUMMERS... THANKS TO ALL -K
