California Breaded Chicken

I am finally caught up on my blogs! It has taken so long but I'm so happy to finally be caught up. That means that moving forward, I will be posting (hopefully) closer to when I actually make them :) This recipe we made last week and it's called California Chicken and it is a Noom recipe. 

We used lime juice instead of lemon peel and whole wheat breadcrumbs instead of regular. Honestly, I don't know what makes this or why it's called a California Breaded Chicken. Based off of the ingredients, they are healthier and unique to regular chicken tenders. And although I still use the Noom app, I'm no longer paying for Noom. This was a recipe that I was able to pull up through the app using the paid Noom service. I'm always looking for healthier options so I'm glad I have this so I can make it again in the future. We love making chicken but I'm very picky when it comes to chicken because I've had my fair share of dry chicken. These tenders weren't dry and were a healthier option if you prefer a healthier choice.  

I have made several breaded chicken recipes before if you want to try out the others I've made:
Breaded Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
Herb Breaded Chicken
Baked Breaded Chicken Breast

Ingredients:
1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
1 egg white
1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp lime juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into halves for thinner slices and eventually cut into tenders 

Directions:
Coat a cast iron skillet with nonstick spray. Preheat the boiler. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard and egg white. Beat with a fork. In another bowl combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and lime juice. 

Dip the chicken in the mustard mix, turn to coat and then into the breadcrumb mixture. 

Place the chicken in the skillet. Broil for about 6-10 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown or no longer pink. 

According to the original recipe, if it browns too quickly, turn off the broiler and bake the chicken at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. 

Cut into tenders and serve with Zucchini fries and rice.

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
