    That crunch looks amazing! So amazing I might actually make me like chicken. I’m also drawn to that bowl of sauce, what is it?

    Love the look of this Lindsay! That texture looks insane crunchy! I’ll have to track down a different brand here in the UK, but it’s on the list to make for sure!

    Panko crusted chicken is one of my girls’ favorite dinners and I love that it’s such a healthy alternative to chicken fingers and nuggets (neither of which have my girls ever had!). I actually just posted my recipe the other day, but I was thinking I didn’t give an alternative for people on a GF diet. Well, thank you, b/c now I have it! Love all the spices and herbs you used in the coating too!

    Girl I am 1000% with you on nourishing and feeding people. Sometimes I just don’t know how to say, ‘I love you’ but cooking and baking comes so much more naturally to me. I don’t create as amazing of recipes, but I love to take your recipes or other recipes and use those to provide and nourish my family. I’m so thankful God made us all different and that we can all say, ‘I love you’ in different ways.

    And . . . whenever I come to your blog I almost feel like you’re hostessing us to your dinner with your descriptions of the food.

    I will be on a lookout for Udis, sounds so good and this meal is so inspiring too. I am trying to go a little bit gluten free to see how I feel and I am loving it so far.
    Great one my dear.

    This is delicious, thank you for the recipe! Just noticed that Dijon mustard is listed in the ingredients but not included anywhere in the preparation of the dish. Is it supposed to be included at some point?
