Oven baked crispy chicken strips

I tested the oven baked crispy strips, a recipe that is very popular among moms with small children (these strips are easy to handle and make a great meal) and also among fast food lovers. They turned out great, but I recommend to make them in small amounts (as much as your family will eat at one meal) as the chicken breast hardens after it gets cold.

Ingredients:
- 1 piece boneless chicken breast;
- 2 eggs;
- 1 cup bread crumbs;
- 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional);
- 100 g yogurt.
* This recipe does not contain salt; if you don't have restrictions add salt and pepper to the raw meat strips and also add a bit of salt in the whisked eggs.

Method:
Cut the chicken breast into strips (add condiments by taste) and cover it in yogurt. If you have time, leave the chicken and yogurt mix it in the fridge for 1-2 h, covered with cling film (the crispy strips will be tenderer in the middle).
Place the bread crumbs in a large plate and whisk the eggs in a bowl (add a little salt, by taste).
Place each of the meat strips (covered in yogurt) in the bread crumbs and turn it on all sides, until completely covered. Then, dip the meat strip in the whisked eggs and place it again on the bread crumbs plate (turn it on all sides).  Finally, place the strip on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat until you finish all meat. Sprinkle all the strips with Parmesan cheese (optional).

Place the tray in the preheated oven (200 degrees Celsius) for about 20-30 minutes (the time depends on the size of the strips), until they become golden brown.

Serve them hot, next to steamed vegetables and a yogurt dip.

Enjoy!

Chicken and capia pepper rolls

Ingredients:

- 2 boneless chicken breasts; 

- 2 capia peppers (or red bell peppers), baked, skin and seeds removed;
- 2-3 garlic cloves;

- a few sage leaves (fresh or dry);
*this recipe does not contain salt. If you don't cook for babies and you don't have restrictions, add salt by taste.

Slice every chicken breast in half, but don't cut all the way, so that you get an only thin slice from every breast. Pound one side with a meat mallet. (If you are using salt, sprinkle it on top of the slices).

Place the pepper (cut lengthwise to obtain a single slice) and roll tightly. Use a string to tie the rolls or fix them with toothpicks.

Place the rolls in a Pyrex tray (or similar), not very wide, and pour water on top to cover them about 3/4. Add (next to the meat) the garlic cloves and the sage leaves. Cover with a lid or with baking paper. Bake in the oven (200 degrees Celsius) for about 1h, until the meat is tender. Take of the lid and bake for 10 more minutes, to obtain a crust (if you want the rolls to have more crust, remove them from the sauce and bake them on baking paper for the 10 extra minutes).


The chicken rolls go perfectly with mashed potatoes or as an appetizer, with bread and cheese.

Enjoy!
