This recipe for cornflake chicken is strips of chicken breast coated in seasoned crushed cornflakes and baked to crispy perfection. These cornflake chicken tenders are an updated version of that recipe that my mom used to make, and it’s probably no surprise that my kids love them too! This recipe starts with boneless skinless chicken breast tenders, which are dipped in a milk and egg mixture, then rolled in seasoned crushed cornflakes. You can also use this cornflake coating on regular chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs.

This cheese ball recipe is made with cream cheese, white cheddar cheese and spices, all blended together and rolled in chopped pecans. Chop pecans into small pieces and roll the ball over the pecans. For the white cheddar, use a high quality aged cheddar to pack your cheese ball with flavor. For a big party or a big appetite, you can double this recipe for a big ball or multiple smaller balls.

This Hunan beef is thinly sliced steak that’s stir fried with colorful veggies in a spicy sauce. You can also use hot chili oil, chili garlic sauce, or even sriracha. Hunan sauce is made of beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili paste and cornstarch. This recipe is written with 2 teaspoons of chili paste which makes for a moderately spicy sauce.

This chicken Alfredo bake is penne pasta tossed with cooked chicken and a creamy sauce, then topped with cheese and baked to perfection. My family enjoys a good hearty pasta dish such as chicken parmesan pasta, seafood pasta, and this ultra creamy and decadent chicken alfredo. Bake your pasta dish until the cheese is melted and browned, then add a sprinkling of parsley and enjoy! This chicken Alfredo bake takes a classic dish and turns it into a cheesy masterpiece that is sure to delight.
