INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Marinade
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, sliced into tenders
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Seasoned Flour Coating
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Salt, to taste

Oil for frying
For Serving: French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and all marinade ingredients. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In another bowl, whisk together all seasoned flour coating ingredients. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour coating, pressing firmly to coat. Lift and gently shake off excess flour, then place on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then dredge again in the seasoned flour coating. Return to the rack and let sit for another 15 minutes. This helps create that extra crispy texture.

In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked.

Serve with sauce, French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw.

💬 Comment RECIPE and I’ll DM it to you!

Sweet Dough
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
6 tbsp salted butter, softened
2 eggs + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling
6 tbsp salted butter, softened
2 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Frosting
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tbsp salted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp half & half or whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Green food coloring
Lucky Charms marshmallows

Method

Warm milk to 105–110°F, stir in yeast, and let sit for 5 minutes.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, and flour. Mix well. Add the yeast mixture and knead on medium speed for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.

Roll dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough from bottom to top. Cut into 12 rolls using dental floss or a sharp knife.

Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch dish and cover with a towel. Let rise for 30 minutes until doubled.

Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

While the rolls bake, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and green food coloring. Mix until fluffy.

Spread frosting over warm rolls and top with Lucky Charms marshmallows. Enjoy!

💬 Comment RECIPE if you want the full recipe sent to you

INGREDIENTS 
6 English muffins, split and chopped into 1 inch cubes
7 oz Canadian bacon, cut into fourths
6 large eggs
4 egg whites (save the egg yolks for hollandaise sauce)
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
Chives or green onions for garnish

Quick Blender Hollandaise
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of cayenne
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and hot

INSTRUCTIONS 
Butter a 9x13 baking dish. Add chopped English muffins in an even layer. Tuck half of the Canadian bacon between the bread cubes and sprinkle the rest on top.

In a bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Pour evenly over the bread mixture and gently press down so the bread absorbs the custard.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375°F. If refrigerated overnight let it sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 25 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden.

For the hollandaise, blend egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard. Slowly stream in hot melted butter while blending until thick and creamy. Season with salt and cayenne.

Drizzle hollandaise over the casserole, garnish with chives, and serve warm.
