Here are some healthy Chicken Fingers for your kiddos..who am I kidding.. AND you adults too! These would be perfect for Super Bowl Sunday with the rest of the goodies you have planned, and you wont have to feel guilty for eating them!
I really am trying to cook a lot healthier. I have my good days and bad days, like the rest of the world. I am such a lover for junk food it really is pathetic. I’m trying to train myself to eat better, but it’s hard. I was actually a vegetarian for almost a full year, but gave in a year into it, and started eating meat again.
I’ve went through health craze phases.. and definitely some junk food phases (like I’ve been in lately). I can tell such a huge difference in how I feel when I eat better, healthier foods compared to junk and fatty foods. Its amazing. On my journey to eating better I still want to somehow feel like I’m still getting some of the naughty foods I love, so I’m trying to come up with ones that are comforting and tasty while still low calorie and good for you. I love chicken fingers so I researched a few recipes and then decided to create my own. The end result was super delish!

Yum! These look delish! Can’t wait to try em!
I think these look great. Sometimes small steps to eating healthier are the best steps. You stick with it in the long run when you don’t totally deny yourself. I prefer to bake my chicken and fries for everyday meals. I am trying to only fry foods on occasion. 🙂
I really couldn’t be more with you on the junk food thing..I just friggen LOVE it, there, I said it! LOL. I try to eat well most of the time, but I do have my days. Especially the occasional trip to the grocery store when I just HAVE to have those Oreo’s and Cheetos..ha! I love Chicken Tenders too, and I actually like them baked just as much. I love the coating you did, they look delicious. Props to you for being a good girl, as I’am about to reach for a Chocolate Chip Cookie! Haha, I’am pregnant though, so that’s a free pass, right? 🙂
These look so yummy and easy!! That chili also looks amazing!

My son who’s still living at home would eat chicken fingers for every meal if he could. I’m passing this recipe on to him. (He loves to cook!)

This looks perfect for TONIGHT! I have chicken breasts sitting in my fridge and i really could use a kid-friendly easy dinner tonight.
Hello, what kind of bread do you use for bread crumbs?
I just use regular store-bought bread crumbs, or I’ll use plain white bread if I’m making them myself
can you freeze these?!!!! That would make my life 10 times easier with 4 kiddos 6 and under running around!
