Leftover Lady: Parmesean & Tuscan Herb Chicken

I have mentioned before that if I were ever in the running to be the Next Food Network Star my show would be called the Leftover Lady. I love it when I can put leftover items to good use for a fantastic new meal. I haven't done a post of this sort in a while, but after I accidentally purchased the wrong bag of chips, I knew something had to be done.

You see this bag:





It looks very similar to the current favorite bag of chips around our house. Every week I buy a bag of Baked Lays Sour Crem & Onion. The color scheme is nearly the same and I'm sure they must have been sharing a shelf, because I grabbed them up without noticing the flavor.

I made a couple of pastrami sandwichs for lunch one day and as we sat down to eat them, the bag was opened and a horrific smell floated across the table. Yep, these aren't the chips I intended to buy. I knew immediatley that they wouldn't fly with our family. However, trying to make the best we each tried a chip or two. Nope, just not doable.

I picked up the bag pondering whether or not to toss it and a light bulb moment happened.  I thought to myself, "Tomorrow we will have these for dinner."

So, I finely crushed the chips up and then rolled chicken breasts in eggs and dipped them in the crushed chips. I had to roll them a few times in both to have a nice breading. I then pan-fried these babies until slightly brown and then finished them off in the oven.




The final result: Parmesean & Tuscan Herb Chicken.



Very tasty.
One supermarket mistake.
Turned into a beautiful dinner for this Preacher Man Parsonage Family.
