Single Girl Dinner

I have always been under the impression that single girls are lonely and depressed living in the bottom of cartons of ice cream. Clearly the is not the case! This has been my first opportunity to experiment and try things that I probably would not serve my guests unless they were intoxicated. I snapped chatted my meal last night to a few friends and I could not believe the feedback I received! Unfortunately the only picture I have is a screen shot of the snap since I really did not think it looked very appealing. 

Last night when I got off work I was tired and grumpy from such a long shift. All I wanted was some comfort food and a beer. In moderation of course. Still need to maintain this yoga body ;) this is what I came up with after a dragged myself to the kitchen in search of a fast comforting meal. 

To start. Crack open your favorite drink. Something ice cold. My current favorite is this eye patch ale. So cold and bitter yet refreshing. 

I used fresh grated cheddars. White, extra sharp and mild. 

Off the vine tomato sliced. 

1/2 fried chicken breast 

1 egg 

Louisiana hot sauce

100 calorie wheat English muffin 

1/2 tbsp butter 

Salt and pepper 

In a skillet heat up the butter. Once the skillet is covered put your English muffin insides down and add in the egg to fry. Salt and pepper as desired. 

I microwaved the chicken for 30 seconds. I made from scratch the day before. I will include those directions below. 

Flip your English muffin over add the cooked egg carefully and cover with cheese. Top with chicken, hot sauce  and tomatoes. Enjoy!!!!!!

For the chicken. I have a deep fryer. If you don't just heat oil in a skillet on medium high. You need the oil to be around 350 degrees for a nice crispy batter.  For the dry ingredients. I fill a freezer ziplock with flour, 1 tsp baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, 2 full tbsp paprika. For the wet. 2 cups of buttermilk and hot sauce to preference. Dip boneless skinless chicken breast into the wet then the dry before repeating. This double battering with ensure a great texture. Fry about 7 minutes on each side until brown and crispy. Salt again while hot if desired.
