My dad regularly makes chicken strips, and he bakes them in his toaster oven. They're always a hit, so I decided to replicate his recipe, though both the toaster oven and main oven were in use (the nugget potatoes were in the toaster oven and my roommate was making a veggie lasagne in the regular oven). So, I decided to pan fry mine. Here's what I did.
I cut my chicken into thin strips, and into a bag I chucked some cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a bit of Jo-Jo Spice. I shook the chicken around in this bag of coating until it was all coated.
I heated some olive oil in a frying pan and cooked my strips until they were nice and crisp and done in the centre.
I served the strips with a salad and the roasted potatoes, which were done with the same Jo-Jo seasoning as I put in the chicken strips. My roommate donated some sweet & sour sauce to my cause so I could dip the chicken in it. All told, a fabulous meal that totally hit the spot!

Note to self: pick up cornmeal, chicken breasts and this Jo-Jo spice....hmmm. Never heard of it but sounds fantastic.
That's a great recipe! I'll have to try it! A friend of mine got me addicted to the JoJo spice... they're spectacular! I love the fact that it's in a grinder! I know you should be able to pick them up at a Save-on Foods, and if they're not there it never hurts to ask a store manager to bring them in!
tappindiva: I love that it's a grinder, too. I got mine at my local overpriced grocery store here in Rossland, where they have a huge selection.
Caroline has been craving chicken tenders like this. I didn't know how to make them crisp on the outside - should have thought of cornmeal. Thanks for the tip, WC! They look delicious.
Okay, so I didn't realize Cassie had signed in on this computer - that Carolina comment? It's me.
