i was all set to do some meal prep this past weekend, but then i came home thursday night to a note saying not to use my kitchen sink because the drain pipe was frozen. as of saturday night, i was told that progress had been made and that i could use the sink "sparingly." i already had plans for sunday, so i decided to make meal prep monday a thing, which worked out because i had the day off.
i'd bought a package of boneless skinless chicken breasts during a previous shopping trip, so i already had everything i needed to make these chicken tenders. i was only making one batch (see step 5), so i halved the amounts for the egg wash, flour mixture, and panko. i didn't make the sauce because i already had honey mustard in the fridge. i thought these came out ok, but would consider adding more paprika (i used a little more than 1/2 teaspoon) and/or some other seasonings.
since i loved them so much the 1st time i made them, and since green beans were on sale, i made a double batch of these soft green beans. i may need to start buying those bags of pre-trimmed green beans as a time saver if this keeps up.
i also decided to try this recipe for roast sausage and fennel with orange. i had a pack of italian sausages in the freezer, so all i needed to buy were the fennel, onion, and orange. i used dried rosemary because i wasn't going to buy a package of fresh rosemary only to use 3 sprigs. the fennel bulbs i bought had very little fronds, which was fine with me because i'm not a big fan of fennel fronds anyway. the recipe calls for cutting the orange into supremes, which was more effort than i was willing to expend. i juiced the orange into a bowl and followed the rest of the directions for adding the vinegar. i don't know if i'd be in a rush to make this again, but i do like the idea of roasting the sausage with fennel and onion, and possibly adding some sort of garlic to the equation.
