Planet Hungrywood Sweet & Cap'n Crunchy Chicken
(Check out our surreal, cereal-coated chicken recipe -- inspired by the classic version that Planet Hollywood serves up. It's GOOOOOD! by Hungy Girl)
Ingredients:
8 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast tenders
1/2 cup Cap'n Crunch cereal (original)
1/4 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
3 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
2 tbsp. Best Foods/Hellmann's Dijonnaise
2 tbsp. honey mustard (actual mustard, not dressing)
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
dash salt
dash black pepper
Directions:
Place Fiber One in a blender or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Set aside. Put Cap'n Crunch in a sealable plastic bag and seal. Using a rolling pin or a can, coarsely crush cereal through the bag. In a wide bowl, combine Fiber One crumbs, crushed Cap'n Crunch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside. Place chicken tenders in a separate medium bowl. Pour egg substitute over the chicken, and flip chicken to coat. Shake off any excess egg substitute, and then coat chicken in the cereal mixture. Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Place coated chicken pieces gently into the pan, spacing them out as much as possible. Cook for 5 minutes, and then carefully flip pieces over. Cook for about 4 additional minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Combine the Dijonnaise and honey mustard in a small dish, and mix well for a tasty dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Easiest Potato Soup
(recipe by Meal Planning with Connie)
1 32 oz. frozen hash browns
2 (14 oz.) cans chicken broth (I use fat-free.)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
onion powder, to taste
1 can cheddar cheese soup (The whole can has about 12.5 grams of fat. This is all the fat in the entire pot of soup!)
Optional garnishes:
a dollop of fat-free sour cream
shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
crumbled bacon or "real" bacon bits (1 slice of heated pre-cooked bacon has 1.5 grams of fat. 1 tablespoon of "real" bacon bits has the same -1.5 grams of fat.)
slice green onions
Stovetop:
Pour hash browns into soup pot and cover with broth. Add salt, pepper and onion powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in soup. Heat through until smooth and creamy.
Crockpot:
Pour hash browns into crock-pot and cover with broth. Add salt, pepper and onion powder. Cook 3 hours on low. Add soup. Cook for another hour on low, if you desire potatoes to be tenderer. Otherwise, serve after cheddar soup is heated through

Wanna Ride???
A little box turtle lives in our backyard. We have named the turtle "Speedy". It is hysterical to watch Ellie play with Speedy. She will occupy herself for hours. You would think Speedy would find a new home. Possibly Speedy enjoys Ellie! For the past two weeks, we keep finding Speedy in the swimming pool. I couldn't resist the photos!
