Unfried Chicken

   Baked chicken is a staple in any house hold. The skin or crust for the chicken can make or break any meal. So I am on the hunt for better ways to make chicken. This one by Trisha Yearwood had some promise when I first read it.

Ingredients
    1 cup of buttermilk
    1 tbs of hot sauce, I used Franks
    1 1/2 cups of panko bread crumbs
    3 tbs of Parmesan cheese
    1 tbs of lemon zest
    1 tsp of red pepper flakes
    salt and pepper
    4 chicken breasts, cut in half
    1 lemon, quartered


Directions
      Preheat oven to 400.
      In a small bowl, mix milk and hot sauce.
      In a larger bowl, mix bread crumbs, cheese, lemon zest and red pepper flakes.
      Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, and then dip in milk combination.
      Dredge chicken in panko crumbs after milk and lay on a nonstick baking sheet.
      Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes.
      Bake chicken until crispy, about 25 minutes.
     Squeeze lemon over chicken.

Changes I Made!
      I used regular milk and mixed a tablespoon of vinegar to make the buttermilk.
      Also the red pepper flakes can be a little off putting, the heat didn't really hold in the milk drench.

This recipe is from Trisha's Table.

By the Cookbooks

Hello one and all,       Since living on my own, I've fostered a great love for cooking. It's how I show people I care, and I find great comfort in it.       Now, I have a friend who knows this about me and regularly buys me cookbooks as gifts, but I have never used them. I either ask family members for recipes or go online to for recipes. Pinterest has been my diet's best friend. Six cookbooks just sat there, waiting to have their creations made.       After a free weekend, I decided to dig into my 6 cookbooks and have found many new recipes I want to try.      The six cookbooks, all very different, but also represent a different part of my life.      I've picked recipes from:      1) The "I Don't Know How to Cook" Book, 2nd edition by Mary-Lane Kamberg.      2) The Book Lover's Cookbook by Shaunda Kennedy Wenger & Janet Kay Jensen.      3) 100 Perfect D...
