Southern Fried Chicken!

or something that tastes just like it!

Everyone asks me why I refrigerate my Triscuits (or Woven Wheats, the generic kind)... it's because they stay fresh and crispy, and practically last forever. So tonight, just as I was about to grill another chicken breast, I decided to make something fantastic out of the Triscuits that have been staring back at me for months (I swear they are still fresh!). I put what was left of the box - about 16 crackers - into my mini food processor and hit "grind" until they were fine. I only needed about half for the three chicken cutlets I was working with, so I divided the crumbs into two different bowls, and I'm saving the rest for tomorrow.

Next, I passed my chicken cutlets, which I had seasoned with salt and pepper, through the whole grain "bread crumbs" I had just made. No flour, no egg wash... I just pressed firmly until the cutlets were evenly coated.

I heated two tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cooked the cutlets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden. They were thin, so they cooked quickly. I then transferred them to a plate to drain any excess oil. I cut them into strips, and enjoyed them over a yummy salad.
