9). Pecan-Crusted Chicken Tenders
Who doesn’t love fried chicken? That person is a liar! Kids love it, and grown ups crave it too. And great news, you can make it at home, on a budget, and without unnecessary added fat! This easy recipe uses breadcrumbs and pecans for the crunchy coating, and since most of us have some crackers hanging out in our pantry, really you’ll only need to buy chicken and pecans. No big deal. Plus you are baking the chicken fingers so they are far healthier than anything you deep-fry or anything you buy at a drive-thru.
