My mom used to cook the most inexpensive meals on Thursdays. She called it, "Poor Thursday!" It was something she felt was important for us to know, in case we ever went through the depression like she did. Also, my grandmother on my fathers side was a great Irish cook! Pasties and kidney pies, and stories to boot! I personally feel that the younger generation is losing the art of cooking from scratch and using staples to generate the base of the meal! Just because I use the word cook doesn't mean that it takes long to get something on the table! With kids coming and going and parties and work schedules, we hardly have the time. But, look at the health of our families, and the nation!!! The lost of art of whipping up nutritious food isn't that hard to learn! In fact, you can be quite inventive! So, here it is. My recipe blog. For my children, my friends and all of you out there who care to try something hot and delicious! Mamma Mungo's Soup Kitchen! Open for business and serving Man Food Daily!!! LOL. That means tummy filling food! Comments and questions are welcome!

Lisa's Chicken

Start With Good Boneless Chicken




Lisa's Chicken was named after my daughter, well, because she just fell in love with this ridiculously simple recipe.  After I made it the first time, she asked for it again and again, until she began by saying, "Mom, can you cook MY chicken tonight?" I started out making this recipe with boneless thighs.  I switched to the boneless breasts because I could make more by thinly slicing or filleting the breasts.  Don't make the sections to thick or you won't get that quick cook time or the flavor.  Here is the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, OR, Thighs
  • Progresso Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
  • Butter Flavored Crisco
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Put it together:
  1. Fillet the chicken breasts, slightly frozen breasts cut easier.
  2. Wash them in a colander and let water drain, but don't dry them.
  3. In a bowl, place the Progresso Bread Crumbs.
  4. In a shallow pan, heat up about 2 tbs of the Butter Flavored Crisco. Remember, it isn't Lisa's Chicken without this key ingredient! LOL.
  5. Dip the slightly wet breast fillets into the bread crumbs, then place in the heated pan. Let cook about 2 minutes and then turn.  The chicken will cook quickly if you've filleted them thin. 
  6. Serve lightly golden and hot right onto the plate. 
  7. Salt and Pepper to taste.
I used to serve this with a salad for a quick meal as the kids were running to the next meeting or practice etc, and had no time to sit down for a real time consuming dinner.  Start to Finish, it takes about 20 minutes from the fridge to the table!
