Author: Becky

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup flour
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 large egg or 2 egg whites
• ¼ cup milk
• 3 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks or strips (about ¾-1 lb. of chicken)

Sauce:

• ¼ Cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (I prefer Frank’s)
• 1-2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the egg(s) and milk together in a small bowl.
2. Place a piece of foil or parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip each piece into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend; then repeat the process so that each piece of chicken is double coated. (Tip: Use one hand to handle the egg mixture and the other hand for the breading to make it easier.)
4. Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet and then spray a light coating of cooking spray over the chicken pieces. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.
5. Turn the heat up to broil and continue to cook the chicken for 1-2 more minutes or until the surface begins to become golden brown and crispy.
6. As the chicken cooks, combine the Buffalo Wing Sauce, butter and water in a microwave safe dish. Cover and microwave on high until the mixture begins to bubble, then remove, stir and keep covered to stay hot.
7. When the chicken pieces are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Toss chicken and hot sauce mixture in a bowl until all pieces are coated. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

12 whole chicken wings (about 3 pounds)

3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter

1 small clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup hot sauce

Kosher salt

Directions

Place a 6-quart saucepan, with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.

Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Use kitchen shears or a knife to separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings in the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay out the wings on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator to dry, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the paper towels on the pan and replace with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven, about 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook 20 to 30 more minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.

While the chicken is roasting, meltthe butter in a small bowl with the garlic. Pour this along with the hot sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine. Remove the wings from the oven, transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

Almond milk

Go Nuts! Homemade Almond Milk

Almond milk continues to gain popularity as a delicious alternative to its dairy counterpart, and here at Cooking Light, we can’t help but get in on the trend. We’re drawn to its many health benefits—low in calories and carbs, no cholesterol or saturated fat—and we’ve fallen in love with its wonderfully nutty flavor.

In our August issue, we shared the results of our almond milk taste test. While we stand behind these store-bought favorites, it’s possible the best one yet wasn’t eligible for inclusion: our delightfully simple homemade version!

I’ve been an almond milk drinker for the past couple of years, and until recently, I never thought to make it myself. But eliminating those hard-to-pronounce additives and tightening the ingredient list from 6+ to 2 has me hooked. The result is remarkable—a heavenly, slightly foamy “milk” that looks almost identical to store-bought but tastes infinitely better. Closing my eyes and taking a sip, I find myself savoring the natural flavor of almonds in a creamy, refreshing new form, and the unpleasant aftertaste I now notice in store-bought is eliminated entirely. If you’re still not convinced, take a look at the ingredient list below. It’s. So. Easy.

Homemade Almond Milk

Ingredients:

1 cup raw, unsalted almonds

2 cups water (plus more for soaking)

Optional: vanilla extract or honey for sweetening

Kitchen Tools:

Blender

Cheesecloth or nut bag

Yield: About 2 cups

Serving size: 1 cup

Step 1: Place almonds in a medium-sized bowl. Pour in enough water to completely cover the almonds and let them soak overnight. (If you’re in a rush, use boiled water to help plump the almonds more quickly).

Step 2: In the morning, your almonds should be almost doubled in size, lighter in color, and softer to the touch.  Drain the almonds and rinse them under cold water. Place in a blender (I used a single-serve smoothie blender and it worked just fine) with 2 cups water and blend for 1-2 minutes, until a smooth, cream-colored liquid forms.

Step 3: Using a cheesecloth placed over a fine mesh strainer (the strainer alone will leave you with too much pulp), strain the almond milk into a bowl or glass measuring cup. Take a sip and smile—you’ve just made almond milk! Try it with cereal, in a smoothie, or poured into your morning cup of coffee.

If you prefer sweetened or flavored almond milk, blend the almonds with half a vanilla bean or add a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract or honey to the finished product. I also experimented with strawberry almond milk (added frozen strawberries and a bit more water to the blender) and chocolate (added melted dark chocolate chips to the milk). My conclusion? You really can’t go wrong.

Quinoa chickpea avocado salad

http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/04/quinoa-chickpea-and-avocado-salad.html?m=1

Garbanzos, avocado, quinoa, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, lime juice and cilantro – this flavorful vegetarian salad is loaded with protein, fiber and healthy fats. Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are my new favorite legume. I only recently started liking them in my salads, but now I can't get enough. Using dried garbanzos taste better than canned, but for speed and convenience, canned is perfectly fine here. This is also vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free and under 250 calories.

I don't know about you, but I'm counting the days until summer (54 days to go!!) Living near the ocean, nothing makes me happier than having my feet in the sand with a good book or magazine. But that also means bathing suit shopping (ugh!) and exposing a lot more skin than I did all winter. My solution – eat more salads (and of course exercise)! 

This salad is perfect for lunch, you can make it ahead, leaving the cucumbers and avocado out, and add the just before your ready to serve.
