I was trying to come up with a topic to blog about this morning when I suddenly realized..It\u2019s Monday!\u00a0 It\u2019s time for What\u2019s Cookin\u2019, Mama?\u00a0 I love a routine.<\/p>\n

I forgot to give you a topic to think about last week.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go with that theme, shall we?\u00a0 Dinner\u2019s in less than an hour, nothing\u2019s defrosted, it\u2019s 2 days to payday so you\u2019re not ordering pizza\u2026what are you making for dinner?\u00a0 That\u2019s right, today\u2019s theme is Last Minute Meals<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

What is your go-to meal?\u00a0 Which brings me to:<\/p>\n

Lemon-Garlic Chicken Nuggets<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

(I\u2019m going to write this for a \u201cnormal\u201d family of 4-5 people. We double or triple this regularly.)<\/p>\n

4 large frozen chicken breasts
\n1-2 lemons (I keep these on hand for just such an occasion)<\/p>\n

Seasoned flour<\/b>
\n1 1\/2 cups of flour
\n1 tbsp salt
\n1tbsp garlic powder
\n1\/2 tbsp black pepper (adjust to taste)<\/p>\n

Olive oil for frying in (use what you like, I convince myself that olive oil makes it healthier)<\/p>\n

Toss your chicken breasts into the microwave on \u201cdefrost\u201d setting.\u00a0 If you\u2019re like me and don\u2019t like defrosting in the microwave, crank up your oven to 150* and put the chicken in there while you get everything else ready.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want them to defrost all the way, as slightly frozen chicken is easier to cut into cubes.<\/p>\n

Mix up seasoned flour.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid of adding more spices to your own liking.<\/p>\n

Juice the lemons.<\/p>\n

Put oil in the pan and begin heating to 350*\u00a0 (Kristen Horner, the nutritionist, says cooking in butter is healthier, so fry it in butter if you like!\u00a0 Yay butter!)<\/p>\n

Cube chicken, and then place in lemon juice to soak.\u00a0 Give it a few minutes.\u00a0 Make your salad, set the table, yell at the kids to untie their brother.\u00a0 The longer you leave it, the better the taste, but we\u2019re on a time crunch, so a few minutes is plenty.<\/p>\n

Drop chicken into flour and toss it around to coat.\u00a0 Place it into hot oil until golden brown.\u00a0 Drain briefly on paper towels.<\/p>\n

Serve to starving children with ketchup.\u00a0 Serve to yourself and spouse with a glass of wine.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure wine goes with chicken nuggets, but if you\u2019re in this much of a hurry, then you probably need the wine.<\/p>\n

Bon Appetite!<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s your turn, post your recipe on your blog and then add you link in the linky below.\u00a0 (I\u2019m trying a new linky thing.\u00a0 Please be patient with me as I try to get this right.)<\/p>\n

Next week, we\u2019ll do the opposite and pretend that we\u2019ve actually planned ahead.\u00a0 You guessed it Summertime Crock-Pot Dinners<\/span> they\u2019re not just for stews anymore.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
