Meet the dream team: Crispy & Crunchy baked chicken and Mac & Cheese. 20 minutes is all you need to prep this lunchbox fave! Before starting, make sure you have your oven pre-heated and the water already boiling on the stove so you can easily prepare this recipe in a pinch.
Here is the ultimate fake-out on takeout! Crispy chicken rice bowls ‘n wraps can cost you upwards of $20 a pop at a fast-food joint once it’s all said and done. But, cooking at home doesn’t just save you cash—it’s a smart way to stick to your health goals without sacrificing flavor. This at-home recipe isn’t just about making the satisfying, crispy bits in the wok, either: we’re all about that perfect blend of sweet heat and smokiness.
Chicken strips are the ultimate finger food, and this recipe proves it! Our not-so-secret secret ingredient is our gluten-free Crispy and Crunchy Coating and yes, a whole lot of love! Tip: Even better when dipped in our Creamy Ranch Dip!
Don’t spend extra $$ on the pricy fresh stuff here. Start with frozen fish fillets – you don’t have to defrost them before cooking. To help make the coating stick, lightly coat frozen fillets with flour, then dip them in a beaten egg (use two eggs) before adding the coating mix. Since you’re at it- why not make a double batch – coated fish fillets are freezer friendly!
Who doesn’t love mozza sticks?! This recipe comes from Nadège Lauzon. It’s quick & easy and will satisfy any cheesy craving. Make sure to serve with Marinara Sauce for dippin’.
Crispy delicious morsels of goodness that you can bake or air fry to perfection. Serve with a dollop of CCB Dip for a delicious appetizer or follow the “perfectly balance your plate” suggestion to make it a meal!
What’s the best tool for making frozen fish crispy? The air fryer! Frozen fish is great to have on hand—freezing locks in the nutrients of fresh fish (without preservatives) and is uber cost-conscious. Tilapia is an excellent source of low-fat protein and omega 3’s which are important for optimum heart and brain health.
Here’s a gourmet remix for your usual rice routine, no extra effort required. It might be even more hands off than cooking rice on the stovetop, if you can believe it. No fuss, no hassle—just a satisfying weekday, one-dish wonder.
