"Originally from the Easy Home Cookin' Chicken Recipe Pamphlet, I tweaked it a little bit (like I do with every recipe I find). Even the 8 year old who will only eat Chicken McNuggets or processed chicken patties, declared these a winner. They are fast, not fried & really maintain the flavor of the chicken very well. Great for a fast lunch or even appetizer."

I'm 36, live in Eastern PA and went from being single, with only myself & the cats to worry about, to being a part of a new blended family. So now it's me, my bf, his 2 kids and the 2 cats. I'm finding out that finicky just doesn't apply to cats anymore, either! It is fun, though & very rewarding. My bible of cooking is The Joy Of Cooking-I swear by it. When I'm not chasing kids or doing laundry or working (I'm an insurance agent) I enjoy rug hooking, crocheting and reading.
