Yummy Crispy Crunchy Cornflake Chicken

So lately my hubby and i have been eating better and trying to lose weight. Our habits are changing and were seeing the difference. Since we're wanting to change our habits I was convinced that I had cook healthier meals, so I turned to pinterest.com :) I have the app on my phone for easy access and Google is always a great reference.

Though I've made it a few times before, I thought I'd post it here since I have friends that are also wanting to lose weight. 

Ok so let's get to it! I was inspired to find something to fill my hubbys taste for crunchy fried chicken, so I found the healthier alternative. 

Cornflakes are crunchy and tasty and now awesome to cook with! We bake them, so even better for our bellies! 

Chicken tenderloins

Grounded Cornflakes w/added seasonings for flavor

1 egg

Some milk

That's all you need! I've read that greek yogurt makes an even healthier alternative for the egg and milk wash.

Wisk the egg with a splash of milk, dip chicken and drip excess.

Cover and press chicken in cornflake and seasoning mix.

Place on a flat dish. I put a little rack so the chicken doesn't get soggy when I take it out.

Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until chicken has cooked through.

For sides I made lemon rice and green beans.

Lemon rice was yummy!

1 cup of rice

1 cup of water

1 cup of chicken broth 

Juice of one lemon

Zest of one lemon

1tsp lemon pepper seasoning

Some salt to taste as well Mix in sauce pan and bring to a boil, turn to low and let cook until done. The green beans were cooked with olive oil and a bit of butter for taste and fresh chopped garlic with salt and pepper to taste. We cooked it lightly so we wouldn't cook all the nutrients out.

I know not to many people see this blog but hey, if you like it let me know. Or suggestions on the recipe to make it even better, that'd be awesome!

Home Cooked Meal ○Tinga○

Personally i think my mom makes the best tinga. But of course everyone thinks their moms cooking is the best. But my mom doesn't make it or we don't go over as often as my hubby would like. So today my hubby begged for me to take on the challenge of preparing this awesomely delicious spicy meal.

What is tinga?  Well it's a chipotle based Mexican dish that is pretty spicy yet, delicious. It's usually made with chicken but we love the beef.

I've wanted to make it for a long time but, I can't bare to even attempt a family recipe, not be successful and feel crappy for it. So without inviting anyone over, I thought I'd give it a try,  atleast for my hardworking hubby! My family can be a bit judgmental when something just doesn't taste right. So that's why I've been hesitant on cooking family recipes, even just regular Mexican food lol. Well I tried it, and we loved it. It's surprisingly simple and not that hard! Next time I make it I'll have to post the recipe and more pics :)
