So you bought all that Chex cereal from HEB. Now what do you do with it?? We will have it for breakfast at our house, but there are sooooo many things you can make with it other than cold cereal! Our favorite is Ranch Chicken.
Ranch Chicken
INGREDIENTS
- 7 cups Chex Cereal
- I package dry Ranch dressing
- 1 egg
- 1 cup fat-free milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 pounds chicken pieces, (without or with skin) rinsed and dried
- 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
1. Place Chex cereal in shallow dish or pan and crush until fine.
2. In medium mixing bowl, beat egg and milk slightly. Add flour, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth. Dip chicken in batter. Coat with dry ranch dressing ( I put mine in a baggie and shake the chicken in it) Then coat with cereal. Place in single layer, in shallow baking pan coated with cooking spray or foil lined. Drizzle with margarine.
3. Bake at 350° F about 1 hour or until chicken is tender, no longer pink and juices run clear. For food safety, internal temperature of the chicken should reach at least 165ºF. Do not cover pan or turn chicken while baking. Serve hot.
Or you can go a little sweeter!
I saw this one on Pintrest and my heart stopped beating for a second! NUTELLA Puppy Chow? OH. MY. WORD! Where have you been all my life?!
NUTELLA PUPPY CHOW
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup Nutella (coupon HERE)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (use semi-sweet or dark, milk would be far too sweet and you’d lose the chocolate flavor)
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup hazelnuts
- 13 cups (more or less) or one 12oz box of hearty wheat/corn/rice cereal like Crispix or Chex – try to find a hearty version so it doesn’t break down when stirring
- 3 cups powdered sugar
