A few of the dishes I put up may get a reaction of "This is considered gourmet?"
In my world, freshly made food always deserves recognition and I would be remiss not to share these quasi gourmet recipes with you as well as the others.
The comfort food my family gravitate to often includes these. I had a friend while living in Brooklyn who would make this next dish with lovely flavors. Her family didn't have a lot of money, so it was intriguing to me how she made it seem like a meal for kings! I was inspired to make it for my family and it immediately became a hit. I modified it in using tenders instead of whole chicken pieces, but that means I can freeze extras if there are any and use them for salads or another meal.

Ingredients
Chicken for 6 ( either pre-cut into strips or hand cut from breasts)
5 cups all purpose flour
1 1/ 2 cups of bread crumbs
5 eggs whisked
4 cups of frying oil
Seasoning for your flour (I think my new favorite is All Spice,sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, or try cumin, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, add to taste)
3 cups of rice
4 cups of black beans ( See how to prepare beans from dried in the recipe for Bean Burritos under Mexican) dried or canned
2 cups of shredded cheese
Butter for your rice
Sea salt and black pepper
Prepare
* Put your rice on to cook, when done take off heat and leave covered
* Heat up your beans and set aside covered
* In a deep pan or wok, heat up your frying oil
* Alternate your chicken stripes into the egg mixture and then the flour/bread crumbs mixture making sure you coat really well
* Add your strips to the hot oil and cook until golden brown, turning once with tongs
* Place on a platter lined with paper towel
* Place your rice, butter if desired and then beans and sprinkle some cheese, salt and pepper if desired
* Give each person 3 to 4 chicken strips to start.
TRY ALL KINDS OF BEANS!!
