Ginger Snap Chicken

Just a quick note for spicing up chicken. One of our go-to chicken dinners is ginger snap chicken. I got the recipe out of a magazine in a doctor's office a few years ago and we've been enjoying it since. Simply get a box of ginger snap cookies, grind them in a food processor or blender, dip the chicken breasts in egg and then use the ground ginger snaps for breading. Bake as you would any breaded chicken. We usually like the cookie pieces to have a few pebble-sized chunks in the mix because it adds some crunch. We've also found that the tastier the cookie, the tastier the chicken. So, while the cheap cookies work, you can definitely taste the difference (our favorite brand is Midel ginger snaps). It's excellent paired with a spinach and goat cheese salad!

Thanks to Frank, who pointed out that I didn't include the most important part - baking! We bake the chicken at 375 for about 20 mins depending on the size of the pieces.
