Chickens Taste Better After They've Crossed the Road

The only real food (besides condiments) in my refrigerator is a package of chicken breasts. Guess what's for dinner? One of my favorite foods is simple breaded chicken. I can almost always find crackers to smash, or bread to throw in the food processor if I don't have bread crumbs. Most college students who have to start cooking for themselves have made this meal, because it is a great starting dish. There is no pressure, and it is pretty difficult to genuinely screw up. Also, if you have some pasta handy, serve it with the chicken. I usually do this, and I always make sure to cook enough for leftovers. Breaded chicken sandwiches are definitely underrated in today's cold-cut crazed society.
