FLAXSEED...so have you heard of this? Do you use it? Do you know how you can use it? Well it is a great way to add Fiber and Omega-3 fats to just about anything.
I have added it to oatmeal, smoothies, spaghetti sauce, you can slip it into baked goods...again just about anything. So go out and buy some the next time you get your groceries. I suggest you keep it somewhere you will think about it and use it, maybe a little container by the stove so you can sprinkle it in when you are seasoning your current dish of choice. At least until you get yourself in the habit...otherwise it is one of those things you buy and it sits in the pantry without ever being touched.
Here is a recipe that my we just tried the other day, which my kids, husband and myself LOVED...I also tossed in some flaxseed in this recipe even though it was not a listed ingredient.
Place thawed chicken breast tenderloin strips in a bowl of milk. Let soak for 20-30 min.
In large bowl I mixed:
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 T Season All
3/4 tsp Pepper
1 c. Flour
2 tsp. Paprika
(Here I added a couple tbsp of flaxseed)
THEN:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 1/2 stick of butter into a few pieces and place in a 9x13 pan. Melt butter in pre-heated oven.
Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan.
Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix by dipping each piece in the bowl until coated.
Place each piece of chicken in the pan.
Cook for 20 min. Turn each piece of chicken and continue cooking for 20 more minutes, or until cooked through.
This is fabulous...add some vegetables and you have a meal loved by kids and adults alike!
