Instant Mashed Potatoes Coated Baked Chicken Recipe

Today I'm going to show you how to make Chicken in a whole new way! Well, ok - I'm sure you've made shake and bake before, but this is even better - and you don't even have to buy a seasoning packet. Sometimes the best recipes are invented by accident because you have either limited time or limited ingredients. We watch a lot of shows on the Food Network, but sometimes I wish they'd have just one show that helps real people cook better with the ingredients they have. Yeah, I know - they had that doorknockers one a few years back where the guy shows up and makes dinner out of what's in the fridge, but he's still making semi-gourmet stuff. I want to know what I can make out of what I have when I get home from work at 5:30, and I'd like to be eating it by 6:15 if possible. I was making a quickie dinner tonight as I often do - and as luck would have it I saw a recipe on a box that was actually new, different - and that I'll try this week.

I like chicken, and we always seem to keep many 4 lb bags of boneless "chicken tenders" in the freezer for all kinds of purposes. This recipe is the perfect quick meal because all you have to do is put some frozen boneless skinless chicken in your microwave and defrost it about half way - and then pre-heat your oven to 375.

These are the ingredients you're going to need:

* 1 cup instant mashed potatoes

* boneless skinless chicken

* seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic and/or onion powder)

* butter or margarine

While you've gotten this stuff around your chicken should be thawing out in the microwave. When I say you want it about half way (or more) thawed out - I mean it should be pliable, but you should be thawing it out not cooking it. You shouldn't have the ends turning white and cooking - they'll get hard or rubbery in the oven. I freeze nearly all my meat and thaw out only what I need when I need it.

Get a 9 x 13 baking dish and grease it up with some oil - we like olive oil. You're going to take either a very large mixing bowl or a big ziploc baggie and put the instant mashed potatoes in it. Add your salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you want to taste in the bag or bowl. You're going to place one chicken breast piece in at a time and shake it up coating with the instant mashed potatoes mixture. Then place each in the greased baking dish. How many chicken pieces you use depends on how many people you're serving. If you are using the "chicken tenders" like us - then usually 2-3 pieces per person is fine. If you're using an entire "chicken breast" I would use one per person.

Once you get them all coated and in the pan - add a little pat or 1/2 tsp of butter or margarine on top of each one to melt in as they bake. Bake 35-40 minutes on 375, how long depends on how many pieces of chicken you use. You want to take the chicken out when nice and tender - not "crispy" (unless you like it that way).

Twist the recipe:

If you've read my other recipes than you know I love to "twist" or have multiple variations of the same thing. This is because you can't have everything on hand all the time. So - instead of instant mashed potatoes you could use saltines, or ritz crackers, or even club crackers. Also you could add some veggies like carrots or potatoes to the pan and bake an entire meal at once ready to serve! If I did this I would add a cup of either water or chicken broth to the bottom of the pan and cover with foil to steam the veggies nice and moistly as the chicken bakes.

Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Green Peas

Mom and dad had just returned from a short honeymoon after being married in Tacoma in early September. They arrived home at nearly midnight before dad had to head out to his brother's butcher shop where he had worked the past two years. The day was busy as usual cutting meat as neighbors made their daily runs for the evening meal and dad and Uncle Auby filled their requests.





The day started with the meat truck arriving early. Dad and Uncle Auby got there around 4:30 AM to load the meat into the lockers and begin the preparation so that by the time they opened later that morning they would have freshly cut strips displayed and prime sections trimmed and ready to cut to the desired thickness. Dad knew this was not his future but for now, it paid the bills.





Everyone was asking dad about the wedding and the honeymoon and kidding him about "the little woman". Of course, everyone from the neighborhood knew dad well since they had watched him grow up over the years and although many did not attend the ceremony it was only because they all worked hard during the depression and time was of a premium. Mom and dad both understood.





All in all, it was a good day. Dad was well liked and he could feel the love of the neighborhood as it wished him and his new bride the best. Dad looked forward to getting home to see what Betty had in store for their first dinner in their home and also finally getting a full nights rest in their own bed. But what Harold didn't know, he was in for quite a surprise.





When mom was 14 and her sister Francis was 12, their mom died of cancer. Grandma had been dealing with the illness for close to a year and during that time she spent hours with her daughters preparing them to handle things for their father when she was gone. Francis was given kitchen duty and mom was responsible for cleaning the house. And in both cases it was important to do things just right so that had to be their focus. Grandfather was the President of a bank in Tacoma and not only did Grandma feel there were standards to be upheld because of Grand dad's position, Grandfather ran his home much like the bank and although he loved his family and was a loving father, it was important to him that those standards were met ' to built character and display pride.





As a result, Francis became quite a cook and mom never missed a beat when it came to keeping a home looking well cared for. But when it came to marriage time, there was one thing that dad didn't know: Mom didn't even know how to boil water.





Dad got off work around 6 PM and made the 5 mile trip home. He had eaten lunch but just a snack of sorts since his first day back to work was so busy with everyone wanting to know about the wedding and honeymoon. As he walked in the door he yelled "Betty, I'm home!" But there was nothing but silence. "Betty, are you here?" Dad walked to the back of the house thinking maybe mom was outside talking to a neighbor but he could see no one. Then he looked at the stove and nothing was in the oven. There was a knife on the counter and a small pan but nothing else. "Mmmmm..." he thought and just then he could hear something coming from upstairs. It sounded like whimpering. "Betty, are you upstairs", he said as he started to take his first step.





Sure enough, mom was in the bedroom on the back side of the bed on the floor with her hands covering her head. She was crying like a baby. "What happened?" "Are you alright?" Dad patted her back and asked her again what was wrong. Slowly mom sat up and told dad her problem. "Harold, I have tried all day long to figure out what to do for dinner but I have never cooked before. And I don't want you to be disappointed in me." Typical of dad, he sat next to mom and put his arm around her and consoled her and said "It's all right honey." "It's no big deal." "Let's go down stairs and see what we can figure out."





Mom and dad made their way downstairs and into the kitchen where dad found the chicken and asked mom to take a chair. Then with the knife that mom had already set out, dad proceeded to gut the chicken and cut it into pieces being very sure mom could see each step. Then with directions and mom's help they floured the chicken and baked it and then added potatoes and green peas. They both laughed after words as they sat at the table and enjoyed their first cooked meal. Mom wrote out the instructions so that she could remember and all was good.





For the next three weeks, mom and dad enjoyed their fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green peas and there was no doubt that mom had this meal mastered. And if you knew my father at all, every evening (and this continued to the day he died) it didn't matter what he was eating he would sit there and quietly show his contentment with satisfying sounds saying "Betty, you have done it again, THIS is absolutely delicious."





At work one day, he was talking to his brother and telling him about the dinner meal and asking how was he ever going to tell Betty that he was getting tired of the same meal every night. Auby suggested finding the right moment and suggesting adding a little variety to just change things up a bit. So that evening, dad did just that. After dinner, dad suggested they take a nice walk around the block and he even brought home some flowers to put on the table and paid special attention to mom and complimented her on how she looked and so on. Then as they were sitting out on the porch enjoying some coffee, dad mentioned to mom how much he appreciated her cooking and suggested that maybe it was time to add some variety to the meal and mom quickly perked up "I was thinking the same thing and actually was going to try something different tomorrow night. But I don't want to say anything right now, let it be a surprise." Dad was so relieved. I guess mom too was getting sort of tired of the same thing every night.





That next day, dad went to work to tell Auby what happened. They both chuckled about having to eat fried chicken for 22 days straight and had quite a time chiding each other as the day went on. "How about a chicken sandwich for lunch...?" "No, I'm too chicken for that." "Is that a cackle in the back room or another one of your chickens?" The day continued...





Dad was looking forward to seeing what mom had come up with and so on the way home he was trying to guess what she had done. Pork chops...a nice roast...some sort of beef stew...lots of possibilities... As dad walked in the door, mom greeted him and asked him to stay in the front room till it was time to serve dinner. She even handed him a nice glass of red wine and had his favorite chair all fluffed and ready for him to plop into. "This was sort of fun..." he thought. The anticipation was killing him.





Mom talked with dad from the kitchen about her day and asked all about dad's work as she cooked away and dad sipped his red wine. Then mom appeared at the doorway and everything was covered and set on the table ready to be revealed. Dad was in for quite a shock. As he opened each lid to serve up each plate he found variety all right. Mom had found some food coloring and everything in every dish was a different shade of blue. Blue fried chicken, blue mashed potatoes, and, the specialty of the house, dark blue green peas. She was so proud of her accomplishment and again, if you knew dad, it was all about making mom happy and making her feel good as he commented "Oh my goodness Betty, you have done it again, this is absolutely wonderful!" With that encouragement, and the secret to variety that next week mom went crazy and used a different food coloring for each day of that week. It took over 20 years for dad to recover before he could face fried chicken, mashed potatoes and peas again.

Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and peas

Mom and Dad had just returned from a brief honeymoon after their wedding in Tacoma in September of next return. They came home almost midnight before his father was head of his brother was a butcher, where he worked in the past two years. The day was busy as usual cutting meat as a neighbor is running her daily for dinner and her father and uncle Auby met their demands.

The day began with the arrival early in the meat truck. Auby father and uncle arrived at 04:30 hours of chargingThe meat lockers and begin to prepare, so when you open late morning was fresh and sliced strips first sections and seems ready to reduce to desired thickness. Dad knew it was not his future, but for now, you pay the bill.

All asked my father for the wedding and honeymoon and joking about it the "little woman". Of course, everyone in the neighborhood knew the father, as he had seen grow over the yearsand although many did not attend the ceremony because everyone worked hard during the depression and the weather was a bonus. Mom and Dad both knew.

Overall it was a good day. Dad was very popular and could feel the love of the neighborhood, as he wishes, he and his new wife the best. Dad was happy to return home to see what Betty had in Serbia for his first dinner with her and finally a whole night in his bed. But what Harolddid not know that was a surprise.

If mom and her sister, 14 Francis was 12, her mother died of cancer. The grandmother had the disease for nearly a year and during that time that he spent hours with his daughters, who are preparing something to treat his father when he was away from work. Francis was a mother and kitchen duty was responsible for cleaning the house. And in both cases, it is important to do things just right so that the objective should be. His grandfather wasThe president of a bank in Tacoma, Grandma was not only a sense of standards because of the position of Grand father has kept his grandfather's house was similar to the Bank, and although he loved his family and was a loving father, was important to him that these rules have been met "to build character and display with pride.

Consequently, Francis cooked thoroughly and never missed a mother was beaten when it comes to a house has been well maintained. But when it came to marriage whenis one thing that Dad does not know mom does not know how to boil water to know.
