Happy Meals got nothing on this! This is one of the juiciest, crunchiest, and cheapest meals you can make! It's even got some healthy greens in there.
To prove it to you, next to each ingredient (not including spices, you should have those!) I put about how much it costs. I'd estimate this meal can feed 4-6 people, and it costs $10. No joke.
If that wasn't enough, take a look at these crunchy strips of Happy:
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips ($5)
3/4 cup cornstarch ($1)
1 cup milk
1 cup cornmeal ($1)
1/2 cup GF puffed rice cereal (box costs $4, so ~$1)
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
salt and ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the kale:
1 bunch kale, thoroughly washed and roughly chopped ($2)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, whole but smashed
salt and ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Pour the cornstarch into a Ziploc bag. Add chicken and shake until chicken is coated. Remove chicken onto a paper plate. Discard extra cornstarch.
2. In the same bag, add the cornmeal and spices.
3. Pour milk into a bowl, and add chicken in batches. Coat the chicken, shake off excess, and place into bag with cornmeal and spices.
4. Fry the chicken in batches in a saute pan with about 1/2 inch vegetable oil. Cook on medium-high heat until chicken is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (this will vary depending on how thick the chicken is).
5. For the kale, heat the olive oil in a pan, and add garlic. Saute garlic for a minute or two until it starts to turn brown. Remove garlic and add kale. Saute kale until fully wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve super crunchy chicken fingers with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce!
