Crunchy Parmesan Baked Chicken

One of our favorite shows to watch is The Food Nanny. It's on BYU TV, and the whole point of the show is that Liz Edmunds, The Food Nanny, goes to people's homes to help them learn how to have dinner as a family. I knew I had to have her cookbook, which is super amazing. This is a recipe that I found in her cookbook, and it's our family's favorite way to make chicken. We have a daughter that will not touch breaded chicken of any kind, except for this recipe. You should make it, you won't regret it!

Crunchy Parmesan Baked Chicken
The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner page 40

2/3 cup buttermilk or buttermilk ranch dressing
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 pounds chicken breast tenders
1/3 cup butter
Salt

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray. 

Pour buttermilk or dressing into a dish that is wide and shallow so you can dip the chicken in easily. Mix together the panko, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt in another wide shallow dish.

Roll each chicken piece first into the buttermilk or dressing and then into the panko mixture to coat the pieces evenly.

Place chicken into prepared baking dish. Melt the butter in a glass measuring cup (this helps with pouring) in the microwave. Then pour butter over the chicken. 

Bake for about 30 minutes. With chicken, the whole goal is that the inside of the chicken is no longer pink when it's done. You can sprinkle with salt if you feel the chicken needs extra flavor. 




I love this chicken, I've served it as is with potatoes or rice. I've used it in Chinese dishes like sweet and sour where you want a breaded chicken. It's also really yummy to dip this chicken in Sweet Chili Sauce. However you serve it, you'd better make a lot! This chicken gets eaten quickly!

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
