chicken tender recipes
 

I saw a recipe for chicken tenders using one of the chip packets....i need these in my life asap, but can remember where to find! HELP :)



:carrot::carrot::carrot:

chicken strips
 

1 packet IP garlic/herb crisp
1 egg
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken (i used thighs)
salt and pepper to taste


preheat oven to 375 degrees
beat egg
garlic/herb crisps in food processer to make bread crumbs
cut chicken into strips or nuggets
dip chicken into egg, then roll in "bread crumbs", place on parchment paper lined baking sheet, bake 15mins, turn chicken pieces over, and then bake additional 15mins.
the recipe i used said that you can broil them on each side when completed cooking to seal crisp and make them crunchy - mine were already crispy and delicious, so i skipped this step.

i made a dipping sauce from WF thousand island and WF ketchup

how much protein powder do you use....and can you make them without the zucchini??

Rainbow:
I use a scoop (serving) of the quest powder per serving of cookies (makes 3-6 depending on how big you make them).
In my recipe I think I say I like the texture better WITH the zucchini but you could do it without. Since it is shredded and cooked you can't taste it, if that is the issue.

Here's a recipe for rainbow chard with shallots:

Olive Oil (to coat pan)
1 Tbsp Garlic
1 Shallot (chopped fine) or Leek if you do not eat shallots on P1
1 Bunch Rainbow Chard (remove leaves and julienne into 1/4" strips, chop stems into 1/2" slices)
1 Tbsp Ground Mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in pan. Add garlic until browned. Add shallot and cook until soft). Add chard stems, salt and pepper and cook until soft.

Add chard leaves and cook until wilted (add water/veggie stock if necessary). Add mustard.

Enjoy with sunnyside egg on top (reduce remaining dinner protein to compensate).

Makes 2 - 8oz servings of protein. Recipe by Janeva Caroline

Thanks for sharing this - a meatloaf is a great variation idea... I am definitely up for this!

However it occurs to me that putting the ridges in here makes for half of a packet plus the real protein serving, doesn't it? Have to accommodate for it in the rest of the day's menu to stay within 3 per packets per day.... Are the IP ridges restricted?

My google-fu has failed me and I couldn't figure out where else here to ask the question!!! So, does anyone know when onions, when being cooked start giving off their sugar, become more carby etc? Raw ok I get that, but is the tip zone to no-no when the onion starts getting soft and translucent? I know that when onions are caramelized they are sweet and that is obvious but how far can I heat them before it's trouble??? Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out! And, yes; the ridges are restricted.

Check with your coach but I've been told that cooking them JUST to the wilting point is okay.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins or biscotti
 

PUMPKIN MAPLE MUFFINS (or Biscotti)
Recipe by Janeva Eickhoff

1 IP Butterscotch pudding mix (I used vanilla)
1 IP Crispy cereal mix, crushed
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. extra light olive oil
1 T. skim milk
1/3 C. liquid egg whites, lightly whisked
¼ C. Walden Farms Maple Syrup

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients together including the pudding, cereal, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice.
3.Add the remaining wet ingredients.
4.Spray 6 regular sized muffin tins with cooking spray, then divide batter into them. (I used 2 mini loaf pans.)
5.Bake 13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Servings: 6 muffins = 2 IP unrestricted 3 muffins = 1 IP unrestricted
1 mini loaf = 1 IP unrestricted (I cut it into 4 slices and toasted to make “biscotti”.)

Not exactly a recipe, but maybe inspiration for one
 

I'm making muffins out of the IP chocolate chip pancake mix, and as I licked the bowl, I realized: this stuff is a lot like cookie dough. (To be fair, I added a little cinnamon and a little vanilla extract, so it might be less like cookie dough without those things.)

I've never been much into chocolate chip cookie dough by itself, or the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream flavor. But if those are things you liked and miss, maybe the chocolate chip pancake mix will hit the spot. :)

The muffins stay muffin-shaped, too! (And taste nothing like cookies, but they're OK. :))

The magpipe..can u show us a photo of the muffins?

Sure thing. This is two batches' worth. (They aren't big, but they're filling.)

Someone neater than I am could make them without the weird peaks; you just have to smooth the batter down better. :)

So what is 1 serving 2 of the muffins? I have been wanting to try to make this. I only do the pancakes. Thanks for showing.

Yes, the mix makes 2 muffins; there are 2 servings in the picture. :)

I've let them cool, and then I put them into tupperware. They don't feel super appetizing once they're cool. It may turn out that they're only good when fresh.
