Read MoreBreaded, coated, baked chicken is a go-to in our home for a ‘can’t think of what to make for dinner tonight’ moment. This is a ‘copycat’ recipe of Shake & Bake made without the preservatives and levels of salt that many conventional coating products contain – just plain breadcrumbs (regular or gluten free), a bit of cornmeal, arrowroot, spices and some nutritional yeast for the yummy flavour and nutrition it provides.
Meal Prep Alert: Make up the coating mix ahead of time – double or triple the recipe – to have it on hand when you want to make this recipe.
Read MoreHere is an easy baked meatball recipe – healthier since they are baked and not pan fried in oil. Use lean meat, ground chicken or turkey to further reduce the fat content. I make up a batch of these to have for dinner one night and keep the rest in the fridge for leftovers or to grab a meatball as a snack when the afternoon hungries hit and when energy is running low. Toss them in some Renata Collective Bang Bang Sauce or Harissa Sauce - SO GOOD! These meatballs are great to add to a broth for soup, to simmer in a tomato or a mushroom sauce for dinner served over pasta or rice, or put into a bun for a meatball sub! Yum!
