Baked and Battered Chicken Tenders

Husband gave this "the best chicken you have made in a long time" stamp of approval!

3 chicken breasts (cut in strips) or tenders
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 T paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 stick butter

Soak chicken in milk for 30 minutes. Mix flour and all other seasonings in gallon ziploc baggie. Put chicken in baggie with flour and shake.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice butter in small pieces and melt butter on metal baking sheet. (Glass dish will make it soggy, use metal.) Tap excess  flour off chicken strips. Place on baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Turn pieces over and bake for another 10 minutes. Mine needed a few minutes under the broiler to finish browning. These are super yummy!

Redneck Caviar

1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 can black eyed peas
1 can rotel
1 small can green chiles
2 c. Thinly Shredded cheddar cheese
1 8 oz bottle Italian dressing

Drain and rinse black beans, corn, and peas. Then mix all ingredients except for dressing in bowl. Mix that in before serving. Keep chilled until ready to serve.  I like to serve it with the tortilla chips that have a hint of lime.
