Oven Fried Chicken

Tonight, we have a take on an old favorite, fried chicken. But I didn't feel like doing the whole deep fried deal, so I turned to my next favorite substitute, Oven Fried Chicken. This takes pantry/fridge staples that I am certain you may already have in your kitchen. I have paired this with my oven fried potato wedges (refer to Barbequed Chicken video) and a refreshing old fashioned 4 bean salad. All of this took about 1 hour from prep to table. Here is what you will need for the chicken and the salad:

Boneless/Skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and sliced into cutlets. Just lay the meat flat on your cutting board and place the palm of your hand flat on top of the meat. Run the blade of your knife Horizontally through the meat to make two even cutlets.

1 stick of butter melted
Bread crumbs, your choice, seasoned, or unseasoned, however I would not choose Panko because it is to coarse and may burn.

For the Bean Salad you will need

1 can green beans
1 can wax (yellow) beans
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can garbanzo beans
1 small onion chopped
1/2 green onion chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar

For Chicken:

Dip both sides of a cutlet in melted butter and then run through the breadcrumb, making sure to coat both sides well, place on a prepared baking sheet. When all of the cutlets have been coated, place in oven set at 350 for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle. I baked mine along side my potato wedges so they would both be ready at the same time.

For the Bean salad:

Drain and rinse the canned beans well in a collander. Place in a large bowl along with the chopped onion and peppers. I added all of the remaining ingredients to the bowl in the video, I have since decided that this was not the best way to do it, so continue in the following fashion:

Mix oil, vinegar and sugar in a separate bowl and mix well with a whisk. Pour over the bean and vegetable mixture and stir gently, making sure to incorporate all the ingredients well and coat all the vegetables in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until dinner is ready to be served. This will allow all the flavors to mingle. This salad is even better the next day!

I hope you try this and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for joining me in my kitchen once more. Until next time, see ya!

@SuperManDan08 No, I meant what I said! It is oven "fried" with butter and bread crumb. I am pretty sure that in my years of experience, I understand what "fry" means. But thanks for the refresher course anyway.

[SuperManDan08]

just a note, "fry" means to cook while sumberged in fat/oil. you made breaded baked chicken.

I love 4 bean salad. I make it all the time. I make oven fried chicken too, but I shake it in a bag with bisquick and seasongings to coat. You can make a gravy with the drippings. Yum!
