Beef Empanadas with Homemade Dough

Image
Happy Saturday! I was supposed to be in Arizona right now enjoying the heat, pool and family, but I am on week 4 of my cough (I had COVID for two weeks and a cough almost the entire time) so I decided to stay home for a few days while Kevin and Jace went. Let me tell you, it is SO weird having the house to myself for even a day. I don't know if I like it or not. Since they are gone, I decided to catch up on a blog post (and putting housework on hold ðŸ¤ª) I'll admit, I have not been eating the healthiest and, although I should have stayed home and rested, I did promise Jace the fair and between appointments, and me not wanting to cook, I've gained more weight the past 4 weeks than I would like to admit.  Before Kevin and Jace left, Jace help me make this somewhat healthy empanada dinner with homemade dough - which is made of cheese.

  Thank you for your interest in this crispy chicken recipe. I only took one photo because I did not plan on making this a blog. I have been sick for the past 4.5 weeks (COVID for two weeks and then COVID cough ever since) and haven't particularly been in the mood to cook, take photos, or even make dinner. I made this about a week ago and I didn't realize it would turn out so good. I tend to burn the chicken and, as you can see, this chicken turned out so good and so crispy so I thought I would pass it along! I used some of a Southern Living recipe for Parmesan Crusted Chicken but adjusted it to make it more of our own. My full recipe is below. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1oz of parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup flour, 1 tbsp fry seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder and pepper in a bowl. Mix to combine. In another bowl, add one egg.  Step 2: Cut chicken into thin slices. I usually buy thicker chicken breasts and then cut them in half horizontally to make them thin.
