Whole Grain Breaded Chicken Strips w/ Rice A Roni Whole Grain Blends.....

Dinner Tonight: Whole Grain Breaded Chicken Strips w/ Rice A Roni Whole Grain Blends Chicken and Herb Classico and Boiled Mini Carrots

A bit nippy out this morning and really the whole day. It was around 36 degrees this morning when I went out to get the morning paper. It really didn't get to warm all day, around 58 degrees with a cool breeze. Ti's the Season! For dinner tonight I prepared Whole Grain Breaded Chicken Strips w/ Rice A Roni Whole Grain Blends Chicken and Herb Classico and Boiled Mini Carrots.






For the Chicken Strips I used Perdue Whole Grain Breaded Chicken Breast Strips. I used these a while back and I always have a package in the freezer ready to use! Love these, good seasoning, breading, and their nice size strips breaded in whole grain. Easy to prepare; just bake them for 12 minutes at 425 degrees , flipping them over after 6 minutes and their done.






To go with the Chicken I boiled some Mini Carrots and, for the first time, I prepared some Rice A Roni Whole Grain Blends Chicken and Herb Classico. Another keeper product! Just bring some water to a boil, simmer everything, and let stand and it's done! Excellent Rice Dish, very good tasting and really seasoned well. Great side dish for any Chicken Dishes. Later tonight for dessert I had some Baked Whole Grain Tostios Scoops with some of the Kroger Brand Peach and Mango Salsa I purchased for a dish for last night's dinner.
