Crispy Chicken Wraps

One thing that has changed in our life sense Elijah has been diagnosed is we never ever go out to eat any more. The crowd, the noise and social expectations right now are to tough on Elijah. We typically slap a $50 bill on the table and walk away thinking "That was totally not worth it" And although Elijah is improving by leaps and bounds, right now, we just stay at home and eat. Although, completely off topic, but kinda not, Elijah's therapy company is starting a new thing, where they will baby sit at head quarters and they are teaming up with a restaurant in the area and we will get a free babysitting and dinner in the month of may..so cool! I love that company, and am so thankful they always go above and beyond :)

Needless to say, i miss some of my favorites from these restaurants. There are things in life that i Love, God, My little Family, and Honey Mustered. I know, i know..but its true! I also love crispy chicken wraps, and my favorite restaurant for honey mustered and my favorite restaurant for crispy chicken wraps isn't the same one...imagine my dilemma! (haha..peril) And also, we as a family have been cutting back majorly on High Fructose Corn Syrup and Dyes, for about a year now. I refuse to give up on taste though :) I after all do love to cook! This is my recipe i came up with to satisfy all this. And OH MY GOODNESS GUYS! Try it! Its the best! I promise!..yes a lil unhealthy, but it was a treat..like instead of going out to eat we had these and Elijah loves just the nuggets, so its all one meal every one loves! Whoo Hoo!

First off the Honey Mustered:
1/2 c Dijon Mustered (no do not substitute, it wont work)
1/2c Mayo
3/4c Honey, or if you prefer more of a mustard flavor 1/2 cup then :) I did 3 equal parts and then added honey to taste and made a huge batch..its awesomeness!

Now My Yummy Chicken Finger recipe:
3/4 c all purpose flour
3/4c dry bread crumbs
2 Tbs grated Paresan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk (i use 1 cup milk minus i Tblsp, plus one Tblsp of lemon juice..did you know you could do that?)
We used chicken tenderloin, and about 12 pieces cleaned up and cut to a preferred shape)
Canola oil for frying
in one bowl mix up the first 6 dry ingredients set aside, in another bowl combine buttermilk and egg

put chicken in batches, in the buttermilk (i will be honest, i did half and used a bigger bowl) then scoop out chicken and put in dry mix (again i did half in a big bowl) Make sure you coat well :) In an electric skillet heat canola oil to 375* Fry chicken for a few minutes on each side (i just did it until it was a pretty brown color) flip and repeat :) Drain on paper towel.

The Rest of the Recipe:
Romaine lettuce
tomatoes, diced
sharp cheddar
bacon bits (if desired)
Tortilla shells, warmed
Honey Mustered
The thing i love about this recipe, allot of the prep is done earlier in the day, i had the lettuce all cut, tomatoes diced, cheese shredded, bacon baked, They dry mix made, the butter milk made..at supper all i had to do was make a buffet of toppings and fry chicken and warm tortillas and assemble...and of course...Enjoy!
