here is something we are having this week and i see you have half a box of mashed potatoes in your pantry…

first, take chicken breasts and roll them in some melted butter
then, roll them in the potato flakes (you can add some salt and pepper to the flakes if you want)
bake in the oven either in a 9×13 pan or a cookie sheet at 350 for 30-45 minutes

potato baked crispy chicken…yum!

I LOVE the idea of knowing what is in your pantry and actually using it up. I hope to use up a lot of my pantry items with “new” dinners this month as well. Your creations actually look quite delicious…you must have started with an awesome pantry!
