No bones about it, you know? Perhaps you will like it too?

Lightly Breaded Please!
Sharing one of my easy to make comfort food recipes.

You know, chicken is one of my favorite comfort foods that is so easy to prepare? If I was a vegetarian, I would seriously miss my baked chicken!

When I was married, we had chicken thighs a couple of times during the week. However, they were usually prepared on the outside gas grill or inside on our finished patio on the fancy Jenn-Air Barbecue Grill.

Chicken thighs are so versatile to prepare. I love their perfect little size that you can use a knife or eat them with your fingers.

I personally like to use Vigo Italian Style Bread Crumbs for my breading. You'll find a lot of prepared breading mixes at your grocers, but this is the one I use! Along with the same brand of olive oil.

Plus, my main side dish has long been one of the Uncle Ben's packets of rice. They only take 90 seconds in the microwave and really are quite good. Lately, I've been enjoying the Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic. It has quite the interesting texture! ~ The Comfort Foods Ambassador, Jaguar Julie!

A Closer Look at the Ingredients!
You get an idea how simple this is to prepare!

You know, I've been using the Vigo brand of products for years. It seems to make sense to use those bread crumbs with their olive oil. Rather a synergistic effect on taste; Italian Style!

I don't dip my chicken thighs in egg wash ... you don't really need it.

I like this recipe because it can feed one person three times, two people twice, or three people once. Get it? What's great is that you can also use the baked chicken the next day to make some tasty sandwiches!

I Love Corningware and Corelle!

Who doesn't love Corningware, I ask? Would you believe, I think my set is over 40 years old! I seriously can't believe it ... they say this stuff is indestructible and that it will probably outlive you and me. I believe it!

I am one of the many home cooks who rely on my Corningware casserole set for baking. The cornflower pattern is like a vintage collectible. I think it is a right of passage that each homemaker start off with such a set.

Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh Salad

Dinner one day; salad the next! Baked chicken on a salad is so tasty! On the first night, I had Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs as my dinner. Two days later, I sliced up one of those baked chicken thighs and made a creative salad recipe for my lunch! Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh Salad to be precise!

I find that you can get very creative with salad recipes!

First, I start with the green stuff as a base and then figure out my main component.

Next, it's the additives or extra complementary ingredients.

Last, but surely not the least, it is the actual salad dressing.

Come along and see what all went into the making of this chicken thigh salad ... scratch and sniff if you like!

I Love Chicken!
I will have it at lunch and at dinner too! Chicken is such a versatile protein that can be prepared a number of healthful ways. It's a great meat that tastes even better the next day!

One rather warm day in Jacksonville Florida, I prepared Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs in my oven. It was one of those kind of days that I got all wrapped up online and didn't notice it was dinner time and I hadn't put the chicken in the oven yet!

Well, not to worry ... chicken cooks pretty fast. Since it was already defrosted, I knew I would bake it that night and have it the next night for dinner. However! I didn't realize that I would be having one of those 6 baked thighs for my lunch on Friday!

I have one more left and will probably consider a sandwich as my fourth meal. That's a lot of mileage from one package. It's important if you are a singular person that you not prepare too much to finish before it spoils! Hey, I was the Comfort Foods Contributor on Squidoo. ~ Jaguar Julie!

The Main Ingredients - It is so easy to make something healthy!

For the longest time, I was buying that package of Publix Romaine. Then, I switched to the variety of packaged salad greens. Generally, I will look for the brand that is on sale when I shop at Publix. Today, it was Fresh Express where you bought one package for $3.99 and then the second was free. You know, BOGO? Buy one, get one!

I love the European Blend too. Sometimes, it's baby spinach leaves. This is the one variable that can change up to customize your particular favorite green stuff!

P.S. Take a look at how much sliced chicken you get from that one thigh! Pretty amazing that you don't realize how big a portion it really is. You also get an idea of how I like to cut it.

Drumroll : The Recipe!

I was searching on Amazon for a good chicken recipe book and found 365 Ways to Cook Chicken: Simply the Best Chicken Recipes You'll Find Anywhere!

It got me thinking about the book and movie, Julie and Julia. Did you see that? I was wondering, could you use this book to do something similar, but with chicken?

Chicken Red Curry Spice Meter

Ah, chicken red curry! How hot do you like yours? Have you registered your vote yet? I've shared my tasty recipe for Chicken Red Curry : Done Thai Style that's easy and quick to make. It is my best chicken red curry recipe as it tastes just like the curry we get in our Thai restaurant, if not better!

Today, I am sharing the Spice Meter ... in which readers get to tell us how hot they like it!

How hot do you like your curry? Why not take a moment to drop by and sample some. It's interesting that I was not a spring chicken when I tasted this dish for the first time. Living in Atlanta, a lot of years ago, our office staff went to a local Thai restaurant for lunch. That was my first taste of Thai food. I picked something that was a little too hot.

Then, fast forward to living in Jacksonville, Florida. I was actually in my 50s when I started to crave a taste of Thai food. At first, I gravitated to the green curries. My now ex hubby was always trying the red. One day, I got creative and tried what he was having. Folks! That was the start of a love affair with this dish. Too bad the love affair with the hubby had to end.
