Divine Chicken Strip

All right, I want to show y'all how to make just some divine chicken strips for

your man, honey. You'll just blow them away or for your woman. In fact, I told y'all

I wanted to tell you how Michael proposed to me so guys, y'all don't go anywhere

I want y'all to listen closely because it might give you a few ideas of your own

I'm gonna start with a marinade on our chicken. We're actually gonna let this

marinate in the refrigerator overnight. We're gonna start with some sour cream

and a couple of teaspoons of celery salt, fresh chopped garlic, the juice of a half a lemon

half a teaspoon of salt, and about two teaspoons of Worcestershire. And that sour cream is gonna break down that chicken

and make it so unbelievably tender. And it's just gonna be perfectly delicious

Now I've got some strips already cut here. I've taken just a boneless chicken breast

and sliced them up. And y'all, I want to remember now, working with chicken, you want to make sure

you don't do any cross-contamination. And you want to make sure you wash your hands

and your board real, real good. A tablespoon of Clorox mixed in a gallon of water

will work nicely to clean any of your surfaces with Now I gonna just toss those around and make sure they coated real real well So I going to put these in the refrigerator and let them sit overnight

In the meantime, I've got some that I did up yesterday that are ready for us to go

So anyway, I want to tell y'all how Michael proposed to me

It was Christmas morning, and all of our family had gathered around, and I'm running around looking lovely

Well, I had noticed the night before that a new gift had appeared underneath the Christmas tree

and it was back to the back, and it said Paula. Well, I pretended that I didn't notice, and I thought, well, I'll get that when the time's right

Look at this wonderful pan, y'all. It's a heavy cast iron with the grill surface on it

because when we cook these chicken tenders, they won't sit in any grease they're gonna sit up

This is a wonderful, heavy pan. Before I go on with the story

I'm gonna take sesame seeds, and this is just a white sesame

and you could actually even use dark, too, and breadcrumbs, and we're gonna mix that together real good

and we're just gonna take our chicken breast out. We're gonna roll them in our breadcrumbs and our sesame seed

put them on our pan, and into the oven. So anyway Michelle Michael daughter comes over to me and she said you got to open your gifts So I went over and I sat down in the chair and they pulled out that box that I had seen that said Paula on it

and it was shaped in the shape of a house. So when I sat down with this box

I noticed that the room got quiet and everybody was watching me

So I thought, what's going on here? Because I truly had no idea

So I opened the box and there was another box. inside. Now the first box said Paula. The next box that I opened was surrounded by all this candy

all my favorite Hershey's chocolate kisses and all this stuff. So I opened the next one and it said

love. And I still was not reading what was on the box. So I had opened a box that said Paula

I love. So I went to the next box. It was surrounded by candy and it had you on it

And I still did not realize what was going on. I couldn't figure out the message. And finally

my niece, Kari, yelled out and she said, Paula, are you reading the message? And I said, well

it said, Paula, I love you. So I went to the next box and opened it up and it said, we'll

When I saw Will, everything clicked. And I looked up at Michael and he was propped against the bar over there looking at me just grinning And I said no And then I said yes I mean yes

And I thought it was just the sweetest thing. This big, tough, quiet river man had just chosen the perfect way to propose to me

So I've got these ready to go into the oven. And now all I'm going to do is drizzle these with butter

I don't have to tell you that in the South we're big chicken eaters

Okay, we're gonna put those in the oven and we're gonna cook these anywhere from 18 to 25 minutes

And I've got some that should be ready over here. And look how delicious they look

Nice and golden brown. And you can see how the grease went to the bottom of our pan

Oh, these look so, so good. I'm going to just sprinkle a few black sesame seeds and a little lemon twist

Now I think all I'm going to do is serve this with a very simple honey mustard sauce

Mmm. the girls are gonna love them
