In a recent segment on food waste and budget-friendly cooking, Aymara Lucero, also known as The Concerned Cook, shared her innovative recipe for transforming stale bread into mouthwatering chicken tenders on Inside South Florida.
Aymara highlighted the importance of minimizing food waste, especially with rising grocery costs. By repurposing stale bread into breadcrumbs, she demonstrated an easy and sustainable way to create a delicious and budget-friendly meal.
To begin, Aymara processed the stale bread in a food processor to create breadcrumbs, which serve as the crispy coating for the chicken tenders. She emphasized that freezing both the breadcrumbs and the prepared chicken tenders allows for convenient meal prep and storage.
With just a few simple steps, Aymara guided the hosts through the assembly process, which involved dipping chicken tenderloins in beaten eggs and coating them with the freshly made breadcrumbs. The hosts enthusiastically participated in the hands-on cooking experience, highlighting the family-friendly nature of the recipe.
Once assembled, the chicken tenders were baked in the oven until golden brown and crispy. Aymara showcased the finished product, emphasizing the transformation of stale bread into a flavorful and satisfying meal.
To elevate the dish further, Aymara suggested serving the chicken tenders with a homemade mayo-mustard sauce, adding an extra layer of flavor. The hosts eagerly sampled the crispy chicken tenders, praising the dish for its taste and texture.
For those interested in trying the recipe themselves, Aymara directed viewers to her Instagram, @ConcernedCook, for the full recipe and cooking instructions.
