Nacho Chicken


I've had this recipe from Nana a while.  It's one I'm just now getting around to making.  It's pretty easy and pretty tasty.  Rachel thought it was neat that chips made the crunchy coating. 
I made nacho chicken strips.

It was so good.....especially with the fried corn.
I cut my chicken breast into strips.  It makes it a little easier for serving kids.  It did take a little more crushed chips doing it this way.  I served this with salad, fried corn,  and milk to drink.  It was really a tasty supper.

Fried Corn (Sort of)

I had some ears of corn that needed to be cooked.  Little Miss has a loose tooth...so I figured I'd be a nice mommy and cut it off the cob to cook it.  As I'm cutting the kernels off the cobs, I found myself dreaming about my mom's fried corn.  I don't remember exactly how she made hers (it was too late for me to call) so I made it my way.  I was so good.  It felt like I was eating my mom's good cookin'!


so good, a little creamy and buttery
