Last night, I made my own version of "shake'nbake" chicken for dinner. It's super easy to make, bake, and cleanup --> winner, winner, chicken dinner!! Doing my own shake'nbake allows me to use all wholesome, organic, fresh ingredients ('cuz you know this won't fly in our house). The idea is simple: pound, season, and bread your chicken all in one bag and then move chicken to the cooking surface. Last night, I fried one piece on the stove-top and baked the other in the oven, just to see which I like better. Personally, I lovedddd the fried version! It fell apart just a smidge but it was packed with so much flavor and did not dry out.
The full recipe and instructions are at the bottom of the post. Let me know if you try it!
