ITALIAN CRUNCH CHICKEN

ITALIAN CRUNCH CHICKEN
Here is a wonderful and healthy chicken recipe.  You can adjust the seasonings to your liking, if desired.  It's also great with a little "heat" added, like some cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.  The small pieces also makes for a great appetizer!


   2 cups Post© Grape-Nuts cereal
   1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
   1 teaspoon garlic powder
   1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
   1 teaspoon dried oregano
   2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
   1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
   salt and pepper, to taste
   2 eggs, beaten and mixed with a little water
   cornstarch
   4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks (you can leave them whole if you'd like - tenders also work great)
   vegetable oil


Place cereal in blender container or food processor; cover and blend/process until finely crushed, but not quite a powder.  Transfer cereal to a large bowl; add seasonings and combine.

Place cornstarch in one bowl.  Place egg and water in another.

Dip chicken in cornstarch, followed by egg wash and ending in cereal mixture; always evenly coating and shaking off excess of each dip.

Coat a foil-lined baking sheet with a little oil.  Heat in a 450°F. oven until hot.  BE VERY CAREFUL!  Place chicken on baking sheet, brush with a very small amount of oil (or spray with cooking spray) and bake until chicken is cooked through.  Great with honey-mustard.

CINNAMON TWISTS
Yummmmm.  Here is a recipe I've been making since I was a little girl.  These are so good - if you live with others, I suggest you make a double batch or you may not get any!  They seem to just "disappear."  Enjoy!


TWISTS:
     1/2 cup milk
     1 tablespoon lard
     3 tablespoons sugar
     pinch of brown sugar
     pinch of baking soda
     1/2 teaspoon salt
     very small egg (beaten)
     1/2 package active dry yeast
     2-1/2 cups flour
     1 tablespoon cinnamon
     tab of butter, melted

ICING:
     sugar
     vanilla
     milk
     cinnamon


Scald milk; remove from heat and add lard, sugars, baking soda and salt; cool to lukewarm.  Add beaten egg and yeast.  In a large bowl, combine flour and cinnamon; gently pour milk mixture into flour mixture; combine.  Let rise five minutes.

Roll dough to 1/2-inch thick square; brush top with butter.  Cut into 1-X3-inch strips; twist.  Place on greased cookie sheet.  Let rise one hour.

Bake at 375°F. for 12-15 minutes.

Prepare icing by mixing all icing ingredients (to desired flavor and consistency ); warm.  Spread on hot twists.

Best served warm.
