Yummy Parmesan Chicken Fingers
What a relief to know when you come home from a day at work, you can count on these tasty chicken fingers in your freezer.
Tips
Buy boneless chicken breasts when they’re featured as a supermarket special and make batches of chicken fingers to freeze ahead. Use fresh (not defrosted) chicken breasts; prepare recipe as directed, placing unbaked strips on a rack set on baking sheet. Freeze until firm; transfer to a storage container. Can be frozen for up to 2 months. No need to defrost before baking. You can also make extra batches of the crumb mixture and store in the freezer.
