  1. Delicious tasting chicken fingers with the almond coating giving a nice nutty crunch and flavour. I served with a green salad, potato salad and crispy bread rolls. Thanks Dorothy!
     
  2. WOW! This recipe is awesome. I love it. I am trying to eat healthier and I am always looking for ways to liven up my meals. Of course, I never make anything exactly as the directions called for I always personalize it. Since I am on a low carb eating plan, I used soy flour instead of regular flour and almond milk in place of skim milk. I also seasons the chicken with Adobo seasoning (the kind you buy at the store, I think every piece of meat I cook I put it adobo on it) and a little onion powder - just personal preference. Besides that, I followed recipe like it is and man was I pleased. This will be a regular in my house for now on. Thanks for sharing - ;)
     
  3. Yum! Simple to put together and tasted great. I did do it all in the oven like another reviewer. Just a few sprays of butter flavor baking spray. Came out great!Made for PARTY 09
     
  4. This is the most tender delicious chicken I have ever had. My wife is requesting I make it again tonight. When putting it in the oven we cut up peices of smart choice butter and melted on top of the chicken to keep it tender. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TRY THIS CHICKEN TONIGHT!!!
     
  5. This was easy to prepare & quite tasty. I used frozen chicken strips & finely chopped almonds. I did find it just a bit bland for my taste.
