Recipe Box
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup crushed saltines
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon Beau Monde, Old Bay, Poultry
seasoning, or ground celery seed
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper or cayenne
12 chicken breast halves -- skinned
1/2 cup italian reduced-calorie salad dressing
see notes
vegetable cooking spray
Combine first 5 ingredients; set aside. De-bone and cut chicken breasts crosswise into strips about 1/2" x 1/2" x whatever length, probably about 2" - 3". Dip chicken in salad dressing; dredge in bread crumb - cracker - cheese mixture. Place chicken, on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 45 minutes or until tender.
To freeze: Flash freeze and bag in large ziploc. Squeeze out air.
To serve: Pick out as many strips as you want to cook and heat on a cookie sheet at 400 until hot and crisp.
Notes: may substitute buttermilk, regular dressing, or mixed up egg, but the italian dressing has a really good flavor -- use garlic powder instead of garlic salt if you use salad dressing
In recipes, these are GREAT! I use with Chicken marengo, Chicken parmesan, Any chicken-with-sauce recipe I have... just heat them and while the oven is going, make your recipe and serve them under or on top of what you're making. We also like them plain. They are quick to cook, even frozen, since they are in pieces. Very versatile! They also are less greasy than the chicken fingers you get in a restaurant because they aren't deep fat fried. ~ SW

Kim's note: I get a multicolored bell pepper 4 pack at Aldi for 1.19. I get several at a time, chop them and freeze each according to color, that way, I always have enough colorful peppers at a very cheap price!
Note: For beef fajitas use 1 lb flank steak, cut diagonally across the grain, into thin strips

1. Cut chicken into long strips and marinate
for 15 minutes in soy sauce.
2. Put chicken strips on skewers, piercing
in several places so they will stay on well (like sewing it on!)
To freeze.you need to be careful not to poke hoes in the bags. This would be a good candidate for a tupperware or rubbermaid contaner
To serve:Grill it! Great with grilled veggies and corn on the cob, or with an oriental style dinner, great for summertime!

alfalfa sprouts, sliced onion,
steamed veggies, whatever you like

the dressing

Recipe Box
1 cup of ranch dressing
one or two drops (yes, DROPS) of "Dave's
Insanity Sauce", an explosively hot sauce (here is the web site : www.davesgourmet.com)
1. Mix ingredients well. If the sauce is at all slightly pink, it will probably blow your mouth off! The pepper sauce is advertised as being "the hottest sauce in the world" and let me tell you, it is one of the hottest I've tried, but excellent if mixed with a lot of a "cooling" agent like sour cream, yogurt or ranch. I keep a container mixed up in the fridge at all times. It is truly wonderful and our friends love it too.
Robbyn's note..this is way to hot for my family.. I use just a couple drops of regular tobasco in the ranch dressing..
