Method

Chicken Strips

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast fillets into 5 equal strips.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry Chicken Strips

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

French Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare Fries

    Follow package instructions for cooking frozen French fries. Typically, bake or fry them until golden and crispy.

  2. 7

    Season Fries

    Sprinkle salt over the fries while they're hot, to taste.

Coleslaw or Cottage Cheese

  1. 8

    Prepare Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. 9

    Serve Cottage Cheese

    If choosing cottage cheese, simply place it in a small bowl or on the side of the basket.
