oatmeal chicken tenders

• 1 pound chicken tenders 
• 1 cup ground oatmeal
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika
• half a teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon to turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• pinch of fresh ground pepper 
• olive oil spray 
• half a cup of heavy cream/buttermilk/milk

Pound each piece of chicken tender into a quarter inch thin, soak chicken tenders in heavy cream for two hours or overnight, make sure chicken tenders are all the same size to cook evenly.

Add the paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper to the ground oatmeal. Mix the ingredients and add to a deep plate. Take each chicken tender letting the excess cream drip off, place into the oatmeal and cover both sides equally, repeat the process with the remaining chicken tenders.

 Place a deep frying pan on high with a quarter inch of canola oil in the pan, once the oil is nice and hot add the chicken tenders one by one and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes depending on the size of the chicken tender flip the chicken and cook for another minute, do not overcook. Place the chicken tenders on paper towel to remove the extra oil.

Plate the chicken tenders, serve with a side of blanched broccoli (or their favorite veggie), and drizzle the plate with some honey. Your kids will eat everything off of their plate, and ask for more.
