P is also for Popcorn

Perhaps I should just post about the food.
 Popcorned Chicken 
  • 2 cups of popped popcorn
  • 1/4 cup onions, minced
  • 1t dried oregano
  • 1/2t salt
  • 1/2t pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2T mayonnaise
  • 1T brown mustard
  • 7 chicken tenderloins
Pop popcorn according to the package directions.** I used buttered popcorn, because it is what I had in the cabinet. The only thing worse than watching a bad movie is watching a bad movie with unbuttered popcorn.

**Don't burn the popcorn. The only thing worse than watching a movie with unbuttered popcorn is watching a movie with no popcorn and the stench and smoke of burnt popcorn lingering in the air.

Place your popcorn in a plastic bag with the minced onions, oregano, salt, and pepper. In a bowl combine the egg, water, mayonnaise, and mustard. Soak the chicken tenders in the egg wash mixture. Then roll the chicken in the bag of popcorn.


Preheat a large skillet with a little bit of olive oil to medium heat. Cook the popcorn coated chicken for about 7 minutes on each side.

This was the mine and the Mrs's lunch today. It was the perfect way to spend my day off. Tomorrow it is back to cupcake world.
