Crispy Chicken Delight

Crispy chicken without frying is always a welcome dish! I love to cook, but planning different meals to cook can become mundane. Since, chicken parmesan is one of my favorite chicken dishes, I decided to take it to another level to serve for guests by adding some special ingredients. It has been a hit with family and friends, so I want to share it with my friends who enjoy our website.

    Roasted Green Beans and Radishes-Chef Laurie Grizzle (Woodbridge General Store Cooking Class)

    A great side dish with this chicken dish is roasted green beans and radishes. Just clean veggies, snip ends of beans, slice radishes in half, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with lemon and melted butter. Roast at 425 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.

    

    Buttermilk Biscuits with Strawberry Preserves

    Old-fashioned buttermilk biscuits made with homemade lard and strawberry preserves elevate this meal to make it my husband, Doug's favorite meal. I think it takes him back to his childhood days when his Mom and grandparents cooked natural food and used homemade lard. I've made biscuits many times, but, until I started using homemade lard, it never tasted like my grandmother's biscuits. Now, we can enjoy a special treat of homemade biscuits with our favorite meal.
