Place 1.5 inner packs of Ritz crackers in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and seal it (removing as much air as possible). Set the bag of crackers on a countertop, and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into a fine consistency. Place the chicken nuggets in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with meat tenderizer (or salt) to taste. Add the melted margarine and mix with the tenderized chicken until all chicken is evenly coated by the margarine. (You may use your hands to do this.) Now, take a handful of the chicken nugget mixture and place it in the bag of crushed crackers. Shake the bag until all of the chicken nuggets are evenly coated with cracker crumbs. Place the coated nuggets into a 9" x 12" baking dish and continue to fill the baking dish using the same procedure as above until all of the nuggets are used up. Wash your hands to avoid any contamination from the chicken. Using a pepper grinder, season the top of the nuggets with black pepper to taste. (If you prefer, just sprinkle with regular black pepper.) Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Serve, and don't plan for leftovers! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW Cookbook:  "Betty's Kitchen Cookbook:  2013 Recipes" (c) 2014 Also available:  "The Betty's Kitchen Collection:  Second Edition" (c) 2013 *Both can be ordered from http://www.amazon.com or http://www.createspace.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Betty's Website:  http://www.bettyskitchen.us ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other places to watch Betty's Kitchen: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/bettyskitchen/166973502092 Pinterest:  http://www.pinterest.com/bettyskitchen/bettyskitchen/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Myshine Google :  https://plus.google.com/108882445101872897307/posts ifood.tv:  http://www.ifood.tv/bettyskitchen Roku:  http://www.rokuguide.com/channels/betty's-kitchen​

Chicken Breast

Health benefits of Betty's Ritz Cracker Chicken Nuggets

Skinless chicken breast, often heralded for its lean nutritional profile, is undeniably a powerhouse when it comes to protein content. With an impressive 21 grams of protein packed into every 100 grams of the breast, it emerges as a preferred choice for those conscious about their protein intake. Delving deeper into the nutritional matrix of chicken, one can't overlook the copious amounts of vitamin B6 it houses. This particular vitamin plays an indispensable role in our body, especially when discussing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) management.

For individuals grappling with PCOS, the internal hormonal turbulence can be overwhelming, often leading to a spike in testosterone and androgen levels. This is where vitamin B6 comes into the spotlight. Acting as a balancer, vitamin B6 diligently works behind the scenes to keep these hormones in check, ensuring they don't surge beyond desirable levels. It is this equilibrium that becomes paramount for those earnestly looking to curtail the excessive flow of testosterone and androgen. In the broader spectrum of PCOS management, incorporating foods rich in vitamin B6, like chicken breast, can be a strategic move, providing both nutritional sustenance and hormonal balance.
