Chicken tenders

Another homemade convenience food that you can adjust to your own taste. Here's the basic recipe:

Boneless skinless chicken breast halves cut into 8-10 pieces each.
Beaten eggs
Italian flavored breadcrumbs mixed with a little melted butter (2 tbsps butter to 1 cup breadcrumbs)

Dip the chicken pieces in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture. Place on sprayed cookie sheet, and bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve immediately - OR...

Undercook them ever-so-slightly, and then allow them to cool a bit, then place on waxed paper lined cardboard or cookie sheet and flash freeze. When frozen, store in gallon ziplock freezer bag. To reheat later, take out only as many pieces as you need, place frozen tenders on a sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for @13-15 minutes.
