Hell-ish Kitchens Revisited

I haven't had a chance to post anything from my Hell-ish Kitchens series recently. But I came up with a fun one the other night when I was preparing dinner: Rainbow-Goldfish-Coated Chicken. Certainly made for a yummy and colorful dinner and was requested by Edward for his "birthday dinner" (more on that menu at the bottom)!

Ingredients:
1 cup Pepperidge Farm Rainbow Goldfish
4 or 5 pieces of chicken (I used thighs and drumsticks)
1 egg

Preparation:
Squash the rainbow goldfish in a Ziploc bag. Dip chicken pieces one at a time in the beaten egg and then place in the bag. Shake the bag until the chicken is coated. Place in greased glass casserole pan and bake (originally I fried the chicken in canola oil but decided that baking is much healthier and just as tasty) at 350 F for 30-40 minutes. Easy as pie...well, chicken.

Speaking of birthday dinner, though. Our 6-year-old (gotta get used to typing that) surprised us by requesting the following menu:

Rainbow-Goldfish-Coated Chicken
Oreida baby potato cakes
Brussels sprouts
asparagus
cauliflower
baby corn

Followed by cake and ice cream, of course.

Quite a feast, huh? We were all hugely a bit stuffed afterwards!

Happy belated Birthday to Edward! What a healthy meal that he asked for! I remember asking for Spaghettio's as a kid...something we never got except if we asked on our birthday! (Can't stand the thought of canned spaghetti now! ;-)
