Hi Ho, here we go! Back for another Month-of-Recipes? Well,
while you’re here, don’t forget to check out the blog archive for Month-Of recipes from past
years. Each February, I pick a category and post one or more recipes each day
for the whole month. I’ve done soup, chicken, appetizers, eggs, and
mini-desserts. Look in the column to the far right and click on different years
to find each February's recipes.
When I polled readers last February, they told me that they
wanted recipes with few ingredients. Ever one to try to please, I agreed to
post recipes with two to five ingredients. This should be a fun month, right?
Now, house rules for what counts as an ingredient:
Salt and pepper are not ingredients.
Oil is not an ingredient when it’s for the
cooking pan, not the recipe.
Water is not an ingredient.
That’s it. Not so hard, eh?
This month I will share few-ingredient appetizers, entrées, bread,
soup, and desserts. Hopefully the cooking life will be simpler for you without
so much preparation time.
As we are more mindful of our eating these days, we use
small plates to aid in portion control. This dinner, with its small amount of
chicken per person, is another part of that plan. If you like to eat more meat
at dinner, you should increase the recipe accordingly.
Tender Chicken
(serves two)
4 chicken tenders (or take a breast and slice into four equal
strips)
¼ cup ranch dressing
½ cup seasoned panko bread crumbs (or add 1 tablespoon of
basil to plain panko)
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup Asiago cheese, shredded (or other shredded cheese of
your choice)
Put chicken tenders in zipper bag with ranch dressing.
Refrigerate for at least an hour, turning periodically to get chicken equally
coated during marination.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking dish with
non-stick spray.
Mix together seasoned bread crumbs and shredded cheese.
Place strips of chicken in the bread and cheese mixture and coat both sides,
patting to get them to stick. Place chicken in prepared pan.
Bake for about 40 minutes. You want a nice browning on the
coating to get some crunch.
I served this to DH with pasta tossed with teriyaki sauce
with sautéed onions and celery. I added two cups of fresh spinach to the hot
pasta and tossed until the spinach wilted. It made for a pretty dish!

Tongues Up
Hmm. He said, “It’s too bland.” I think his taste buds are
aging along with the rest of his body! I thought it was tasty. I mean, Asiago
cheese, ranch dressing, seasoned bread crumbs? However, next time I make this,
I’m adding in some pepper and basil to perk it up a bit for him. He probably
would have been happy dipping them into salsa! Everything’s better (in his world)
with salsa.
