Last week, I made chicken cutlets breaded in Corn flake crumbs. I usually use flavored bread crumbs which comes out delicious, but someone told me it tastes better in cornflake crumbs so I tried it----it barely got eaten. Right after Shabbos, I froze them.

What new lease on life can I give these cutlets? No one really likes them the way they are. Any ideas please?

Make wraps or sandwiches with hummos or bbq sauce or chicken parmesan without the cheese so just marinara sauce over the chicken. I like the salad idea that was posted above.

how about pouring some tomato/pasta sauce on top and baking? a kind of chicken version of egg parmesean without cheese. Possibly toss in some fried onions, mushroom, red peppers?

I also like the wrap idea.

You can place them in a pan, make a sesame chicken sauce, pour it over the cutlets, and bake until heated through.
You can then serve them as is, or slice them on their individual serving plates on the diagonal, so that they look more appealing, and so no one will know that you are reserving the unwanted food. Smile

You all have great ideas but I think my kids and DH will go for something like a sweet sauce ontop and disguising the cutlets.

How do you make a sesame chicken sauce or does anyone have a sweet sauce recipe that would fit the bill?

TIA

I was going to suggest recooking them in sweet and sour or duck sauce. Someone sent a meal with the chicken breaded and then cooked and duck sauce and everyone loved it.

BTW, I interchange bread crumbs and corn flake crumbs all the time, especially since I can't get corn flake crumbs here, unless I make it myself Rolling Eyes

. I never used to buy any of the flavored ones, I always flavor it myself.

I use this for any type of leftover chicken. Saute onion and pepper until soft. Add chicken cut up in cubes. Pour sweet and sour sauce (from a bottle) on top and heat through. Serve over rice, orzo or spaghetti.

Chicken pot pie....I did this with chicken that got slightly dry. It was in the oven for 5 minutes longer than is should have been! My family doesn't like when chicken is too dry and I didn't want to waste the food, so I found a solution!. Once in the pot pie, no one could tell the chicken was dry at all. The dish was an instant hit with both dh and all the kids!
