| 1 | Dave, i found this recipe about 15 years ago in a book by barbara gibbons entitled "the slim gourmet". |
| 2 | My family has always loved it, and i especially like it because it makes preparing dinner so easy. |
| 3 | Put the bread crumbs in a deep bowl. |
| 4 | Stir in the salad oil with a fork or pastry blender. |
| 5 | Add all the seasonings and others to suit yourself -- herbs, garlic or onion powder, lemon pepper, etc. |
| 6 | Keep, well covered, in a moisture-proof container with a tightly fitted lid. |
| 7 | Use as needed. |
| 8 | Makes enough for about 20 cut-up chickens or 30 servings of fish. |
| 9 | Dave, i have used this for years...it is especially good on chicken or pork chops. |
| 10 | I store in a tupperware container, and dish out just enough into another bowl for the meal i am making...toss chicken, pork, or fish in the mix and bake. |
| 11 | . |
| 12 | The best thing about this recipe is that it doesn"t take long to make dinner. |
| 13 | Simply toss the meat into the crumbs, put on a cookie sheet or in a baking dish, and bake. |
| 14 | I usually put a baked potato in at the same time... |
| 15 | both meat and potato are ready at the same time. |
| 16 | Now...for variations: first, i prefer to use seasoned breadcrumbs as my base, and add the above ingredients, too. |
| 17 | Second, recently i have experimented and found a new twist to making pork chops. |
| 18 | I put the chops in a marinate of honey, sherry and soy sauce...leave in the refrigerator to marinate all day, while at work. |
| 19 | Before baking, i toss the pork chops in the crumb mixture to coat. |
| 20 | My husband loves this recipe! it gives the chops just a hint of a sweet flavor. |
| 21 | Btw, chicken or chops prepared this way comes out of the oven plump and juicy. |
| 22 | Bake at 375 °F for 1 hour |
