As much as I don’t like cooking I’ve been having a blast trying a lot of new recipes. I found this recipe from knottie Tammara’s food blog, and like everything else that I do I had to put my own spin on it. It calls for breading and frying your own chicken before baking it with the sauce. Well I gave it a shot and it didn’t work the way that I would have liked. I had oil all over my kitchen floor and the chicken just did not fry the way it should have. My creative husband came up with the idea of using chicken strips, you can use cooked strips or raw strips. I used cook. So in this recipe I used Tyson chicken strips and It turned out awesome. I would suggest making extra sauce because of the breading on the chicken there wont be much sauce left to put on the rice.
