Niki's Neverending Adventure

Hey ya’ll!! Hope everyone is having a great day!! I have had way too much time on my hands since this semester is over! I’m trying NOT to complain, but I found myself semi bored this afternoon! Why can’t I just enjoy doing nothing? Luckily, tomorrow I have shopping plans with my mom!!

 

I started out today with an early morning run with my running buddy!! I did 2 miles with Erin and 2 miles by myself for a total of 4 miles. I felt good even though I’m sore from my boot camp workouts!! It was so cold this morning! 22 degrees with a wind-chill of 16!! I LOVE running in the cold though, I will definitely take it over the heat and humidity!!

 

I’ve decided to try to use up the things I have in the pantry before I go to the store. It’s my great idea to save money but it makes for not so fun meals :( However, I think I came up with a pretty creative dinner!!

 

Spicy Breaded Chicken

Chicken breasts (however many you need)

breadcrumbs

cayenne pepper

garlic salt

salt and pepper

1 TBSP EVOO

 

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients (whatever amount of each you want, be creative!) in a pie plate.

 

 

 

Wet your chicken breasts with water and place in pie plate. Coat both sides evenly.

 

 

Heat EVOO in skillet over medium heat and brown both sides of chicken 5-6 minutes total.

 

 

Transfer to oven safe dish and bake 15-20 minutes until done. Enjoy!!

 

 

I enjoyed mine with a biscuit and frozen veggies. YUM!

 

 

Hope ya’ll enjoy this recipe!! Off to finish watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenge Finale!!
