Easy Bake Chicken Strips

Last night, was one of those nights. You know the kind.
Look in the fridge-nothing
Look in the Pantry-nothing
Look in the freezer-nothing

Then...an hour later, hoping something has just magically appeared in one of those places we look again.

Fridge-nothing
Pantry-not much
Freezer-nothing

When the 3 year old says "What are we having for dinner?" you know it's really time to throw something together. At least for my 3 year old. More often than not, he'd rather skip anything meal related, live on fruit snacks, graham crackers, and play, play, play.

So, I look once again in those 3 places and find

Milk
Eggs
Frozen Chicken Tenderloins
Tator Tots
A Can of Green Beans
Spices (seasoning salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper)
Bread Crumbs
Flour

So things, that most everyone usually has on hand.
I dipped the chicken tenders in milk & egg
then rolled them in bread crumbs, flour & spices.
Threw them in the oven with the tator tots & baked at 450 for 16-18 minutes. Turning half way through.

THEY WERE DEEELISH! My husband LOVED them, and so did my son! We had leftovers for lunch today and they were just as good! Mmm...Mmm! My son liked dipping them in ranch, hubby liked BBQ sauce, but I thought they were very flavorful without any dipping sauce!
