Adventures in Chicken 3 - Fried Chicken with Ezekiel Breadcrumbs

One of my very most favoritest of all time ever recipes (yeah, it's that good.) is what we call in my house "fried chicken." in reality, my mom learned it from the Italian family she grew up next door to, and it's more like a typical italian "Milanesa" type dish. Anyway. Trying to cut out white bread meant no bread crumbs. So I got resourceful. I ground up some slices of Ezekiel bread (which has a really low Glycemic Index) and toasted them for a few minutes to make nice dried bread crumbs.



Then I made the typical breading with just the right amount (what's "just the right amount?" No clue!) of parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and fresh crushed garlic. Here you see my whole breading station, with the chunks of chicken breas in a slightly diluted egg wash and the breading:



Fry 'em up in grapeseed oil (makes fried stuff so nice and crispy!!!)....



and voila! A little darker perhaps than the original, but otherwise, very pleasantly close :D The little pieces are what my mom and I call the "babies" and they are my favorite :)


I always make a big batch, too, because this is one of the VERY few things I really like leftover, too!!!
