Okay, if I say this, do you promise you won’t hold it against me?  Promise?  Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!  🙂  You know I had to go there; I couldn’t help myself.  You have to try this Oven Fried Chicken.  It’s flavorful and fabulous!  I didn’t think it could possibly work, crispy fried chicken in the oven, but it totally did.  Aside from being just plain delicious, there was no greasy mess to clean up afterwards.  I don’t know about you, but when I fry chicken, the grease seems to rain over the entire kitchen and that is no fun.  You’ll have none of that with oven fried chicken, though, and that definitely makes this chicken dinner a winner.  🙂  Try it and see.  You’ll love it!  It will change how you feel about frying chicken.  Guaranteed!  I hope your weekend is just plain fabulous!

Oven Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each cut in 3 strips
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons paprika

Instructions: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place butter on a large baking sheet and place in the oven to melt.  Once butter is melted, carefully remove from oven.

Add flour, seasoning salt, salt, pepper and paprika in a large Ziploc bag.  Add 3 pieces of chicken at a time and shake to coat.

Place coated chicken strips on the baking sheet, leaving a space between each strip.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes, flip chicken with a pair of tongs, then bake another 10 to 12 minutes or until inside is cooked through.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Note:  Be sure to space chicken apart on baking sheet so the outside gets crispy!

P.S.  Serving this chicken without shell mac n’ cheese would have been completely unacceptable here.  🙂
