fried chicken w/bread crumbs and cracker meal
I wanted to make chicken tenders last night so I did something I've been thinking of. I took some lc bread (Sara Lee 100% multi-grain) that measures about 7g/slice and toasted it very thoroughly. Then I ground it up to make bread crumbs. I mixed it with Parmesan cheese, dipped the chix in diluted cream and egg before dredging the strips and fried away. Well, I started to run low before I ran out of chicken and then remembered I had some lc crackers (Crunchmaster gluten free mulitgrain crackers) that tasted pretty vile as a snack. Hmm... wonder how well they would make cracker meal. So, I ground them up too, and with the parmesan cheese, they were quite the hit. I don't know how to measure the carb count on this because some of the mix was ditched after dredging all the strips and there was a lot of crumblies in the skillet when I was done. I used four slices of bread and about twenty-five crackers at .83 g each for the whole recipe, which of course didn't entirely get eaten, especially by any one person.
The great thing is that even my non lc family really liked them as did my semi-lc husband.
Yay!
