Chicken Maryland
January 22nd 2009 22:46
I know, I know, Chicken Maryland is probably not that vintage but it was in my trusty CWA 1960s cook book and I had the chicken defrosted and a mountain of bread crusts to use, so that is what we had for dinner last night.
Many people, if they make their own breadcrumbs, possibly like to toast the bread first, especially if they are going to store the leftovers. However, I only made enough for the recipe and blended the bread untoasted. I love the lightness of the untoasted bread crumbs. AND it was a hit with the family. It makes my heart feel good when they ask for seconds, which my older son did. (It also helps to not let them snack too much before their dinner..LOL).
Ingredients
One chicken (I used chicken legs)
Flour
Salt and Pepper
1 egg beaten
Breadcrumbs
Slices of bacon (I skipped this as we're watching our weight)
Butter
1/2 Cup thin cream (I used natural lite yoghurt)
2 tsp flour
Method
1. Joint the chicken and roll in flour that has been mixed with salt and pepper.
2. Then roll in the egg mixture and finally cover with breadcrumbs.
3. Lay in baking dish, add a little butter and cover wth slices of bacon.
4. Bake for 20 minutes
5. Remove bacon and keep hot. Continue cooking chicken another 20 minutes until tender.
6. Place chicken on a hot dish, add flour to the fact and the cream (yoghurt).
7. Reheat then pour over chicken.
8. Serve with vegetables and bacon.
