Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I saw the post on chicken nuggets and thought I'd pass along the one I used for Hannah. Because her body was able to tolerate some modifications to the diet I would just make these without calculating anything so you may need to modify for your child. Deep Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (REALLY GOOD) 1 lb. chunk of Mozzarella Cheese 3 eggs Spices (garlic, oregano, pepper, salt) Grated parmesean cheese Make sure cheese is refrigerated, very cold. Cut cheese into sticks, about 3/4 inch thick. Dip sticks of cheese into egg, then coat in a parmesean & spices mixture. Make sure the sticks are well coated. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes. Deep fry in oil for 3-4 minutes. Salt, and serve. Very good snack, even non-dieters love them! Option: Freeze extra sticks for snacking convenience CHICKEN TENDERS (EVEN BETTER!!) Using the above cheese stick recipe I make chicken tenders for Hannah. I have found that broiling boneless chicken breast works best. After broiled and cooled cut into small sticks. Dip in egg, then in parmesean cheese mixed with the spices. Place on a lined cookie sheet and freeze. I deep fry three of these as a meal for her and give her about 1 Tbl. Ragu pizza quick sauce to dip them in or I read that Heinz is coming out with a 1-carb ketchup, that might be good! Hope you have some luck with some of the recipes.
