Chicken Fried Chicken

Ingredients

30 saltine crackers

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons dry potato flakes

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 egg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

Place crackers in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and crush crackers until they are coarse crumbs. Add flour, potato flakes, seasoned salt, and pepper to bag and mix well.

Beat egg in a shallow dish or bowl; heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

One by one, dredge chicken pieces in egg beat, then place in bag with crumb mixture, seal bag and shake to coat.

Reduce heat to medium and cook coated chicken in skillet for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown and juices run clear.

Chicken and Broccoli Braid‏

Ingredients

2 cups diced, cooked chicken meat

1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped

1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped

1 clove crushed garlic

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons dried dill weed

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons slivered almonds

1/4 cup diced onion

2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls

1 egg white, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).

In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt, almonds and onion.

Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.

Brush braided dough with the egg white. Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.

**** I often buy a rotisserie chicken and after pulling off the skin and deboning it, I put all the chicken into the soup.  It gives the soup a wonderful flavor and makes it extra easy to make.****
