One evening, I found myself staring at the chicken breast that I had on the on the cutting board, wondering how else can I prepare the breasts for dinner. You see, I was tired (the kids too) of grilling the chicken breast with seasoning and frying it with white flour. So, I opened my kitchen cabinet and exposed all the the breakfast cereal that I had at that time.
Eureka!! I found a sweet and crunchy cereal that I thought would be excellent with the chicken breast. I incorporated my past experience of preparing chicken, as I was taught as a teenager, by my mother and devised a recipe that my kids absolutely adored. I also, instead of just using ketchup, came up with a creamy honey mustard sauce with a kick, to dip the chicken breasts in. Check out this amazing recipe for Sweet And Crunchy Chicken Fingers — you will totally enjoy it if you appreciate sweet tasting foods. This recipe should feed a family of three to four.
