Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders

 

 

Ingredients

The Chicken:

2 lbs chicken breast cut into strips

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper powder

Oil for frying

Dry Batter:

2 cups all-purpose flour

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Egg Mixture:

3 eggs beaten

For the Breadcrumb Coating:

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Garlic Parmesan Butter:

½ cup butter

4-5 cloves fresh garlic finely chopped

2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

The Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons ketchup

1-2 tablespoons chili sauce

½ tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper powder

Instructions

Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch strips. Season with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Set up breading station with three dishes: seasoned flour (flour, salt, garlic powder, pepper), beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.

Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then egg, then panko. Press panko firmly to coat completely. Let rest 5-10 minutes.

Heat 2-3 inches of oil in heavy pot to 350°F. Maintain this temperature throughout frying.

Fry chicken in batches of 3-4 pieces for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Drain briefly on paper towels.

Make garlic Parmesan butter by melting butter, cooking garlic until fragrant, then stirring in parsley and Parmesan. Pour into large bowl.

Toss hot fried chicken in garlic Parmesan butter immediately until completely coated.

Make dipping sauce by whisking together mayo, ketchup, chili sauce, Dijon, and seasonings. Serve chicken hot with sauce on the side.

Notes

Use fresh panko for maximum crispiness. Keep one hand dry and one wet during breading. Don’t overcrowd the fryer – oil temperature drops and chicken gets soggy. Toss in garlic butter while chicken is hot. Freshly grated Parmesan is essential.

Creamy Tropical Green Smoothie

 

Ingredients

To get that vibrant green color and thick, velvety texture, you will need:

 

The Base: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra tropical flavor).

 

The Creaminess: ½ ripe avocado, pitted and peeled.

 

The Sweetness: 1 ripe banana (frozen is best for a thicker, chilled consistency).

 

The Tropical Kick: 1 cup frozen mango chunks.

The Freshness: ½ cup baby spinach (this enhances the green color without changing the flavor).

 

Optional Boosters: 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (if you prefer it sweeter) and a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors.

 

Preparation Instructions

Layer the Liquid: Pour your milk of choice into the blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blades spin freely and prevents the fruit from getting stuck.

Add the Greens: Add the spinach and avocado. Blend these with the liquid for 20 seconds until completely smooth. This ensures you don’t have any leafy “bits” in your smoothie.

 

Add the Frozen Fruit: Add the frozen banana and mango chunks.

 

The Final Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is thick and looks like soft-serve ice cream.

 

Adjust Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder/thicker, add 3–4 ice cubes and pulse.

Garnishing (As seen in the image)

To achieve that professional “Instagram-ready” look:

 

Mango Topping: Dice a few fresh mango cubes and place them gently on the surface.

 

Avocado Dice: Add 2–3 small cubes of firm avocado.

 

The Banana Slice: Cut a thick slice of banana and notch it slightly so it can sit on the rim of the glass.

Nutritional Highlight

This smoothie is a powerhouse of healthy fats (from the avocado) and potassium (from the banana), making it excellent for sustained energy and heart health.

🍌 Classic Oat & Banana Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

 

Ingredients

Base: 2 ripe bananas (frozen slices work best for a creamy texture)

 

Oats: 1/2 cup rolled oats (provides that “cookie dough” heartiness)

 

Protein/Creaminess: 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

 

Liquid: 1 to 1.5 cups of your preferred milk (dairy, almond, or oat milk)

Flavor Boosts: * 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for the swirl on top)

 

1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

 

Texture: A handful of ice cubes (if using fresh bananas)

Instructions

Pulse the Oats: For a smoother texture, put the dry oats in the blender first and pulse until they are finely ground.

 

Combine: Add the bananas, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon into the blender.

 

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.

 

The Finish: Pour into tall glasses. To match the image, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top and use a toothpick or spoon to gently swirl it into the surface.

Tips for the Best Result

The Brown Bananas: Use bananas with brown spots; they have a much higher natural sugar content and better flavor for smoothies.

 

Add-ins: Looking at the jars in the background of your photo, you could also add a tablespoon of almond butter or flax seeds for extra healthy fats.

Mocha Coffee Smoothie Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

 

Ingredients

1 cup Brewed coffee (chilled or frozen into ice cubes for a thicker texture)

 

½ cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat work great)

1 scoop Chocolate protein powder (or 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder + a sweetener)

 

½ Frozen banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)

 

1 handful Ice cubes (adjust based on desired thickness)

 

Optional: 1 tbsp Almond butter for extra richness

 

Instructions

Prep the Coffee: If you have time, freeze your coffee in an ice cube tray ahead of time. This prevents the smoothie from getting “watered down” by regular ice.

 

Combine: Add the liquid (coffee and milk) to your blender first, followed by the protein powder, frozen banana, and ice.

 

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.

 

Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a few whole coffee beans (like in your photo) or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Quick Tips for Success

Sweetness: If it’s not sweet enough, add a teaspoon of honey or a pitted date before blending.

 

Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add more frozen banana or ice.

 

Energy Boost: Add a teaspoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.

½ cup plain yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

3–4 ice cubes
