Cajun Chicken Strips

This was a yummy meal my mom made when we were growing up. It was from an old Quick Cooking (Taste of Home)magazine. It has a little kick, but not enough to turn Stephen off to it (he's not a spicy food guy). Last night, I served it with rice and corn, but there is a great Corn Bread Casserole recipe that goes well with it also. By the way, does anyone have a great sweet corn bread recipe? Let me know :)

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-in. strips
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Italian parsley and chili peppers, optional

Directions:
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients. Add chicken, half at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, cook chicken in butter for 8-10 minutes or until the juices run clear. Garnish with parsley and peppers if desired. Yield: 4-6 servings.

  1. That looks tasty. And if the "spiciness level" was ok for Stephen then it should work for my kids as well.
