This is perfect for those late afternoons when you’re running out of time to figure out what to do with the chicken thawed in your fridge. It takes no time at all to throw together, but the results are great. No one needs to know that it only took moments to throw in the oven.

What you need:

  • 2 cups Rice Krispy
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp paprika

How to make rice krispy chicken:

The greatest things is how easy this is to make.

One egg beaten in and bowl. Crushed rice krispys in another bowl. I use my small food processor to crush mine up, you don’t want it to be completely smooth, leave some whole, for add crunch.

Add which ever spices you want to the coating. We used chili, paprika, garlic power and onion powder. Add to suit your and you family’s taste.

Drag your chicken breast in the egg wash. Whole chicken breast, or chicken pieces for chicken nuggets, or stripes for chicken tenders work great. In our experience kids seem to like stripes better. They love just picking up their chicken instead of using a fork.

Then fully coat your chicken.

I use a cooling rack over a cookie sheet for baking my chicken like this. This means I don’t have to worry about flipping it half way through, one side won’t be soggy and the other crispy.

Bake in a preheated oven at 425 for 25-30 minutes. The smaller your pieces of chicken the less time it will take to cook. 

We sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese over ours. But the toppings could add are endless!

Korean Beef and Rice

by Leave a Comment

When I first made this dish it was because I needed something to make with the ground beef I had taken out for supper. Now, this has become a go to meal. I can make it without thinking about it, and I know that everyone my house is going to gobble it up without anyone complaining about it. This Korean beef and rice meal is easy to make, and with it taking less than 30 minutes, is perfect for even those busy nights you have.

What you need:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tsp of ginger
  • 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes

How to make Korean Beef and Rice

I start with my ground beef taste base. Chopped onion and garlic. Fried. And to be truthful, there isn’t much I cook that doesn’t start this way. These seem to be our base for almost everything that we cook. Hubby claims it is the best smell in the world. I don’t add oil. I cook them with the ground beef so the fat will keep the onion and garlic from burning to my skillet.

While cooking the beef, start your rice. I like using Minute Brown Rice, not as quick to make as white but I prefer the taste of brown.

As I cook the beef I am always breaking it up. You want it to be small pieces, not large chunks. Cook it all the way through. Drain the fat. I always dump my fried ground beef in a large strainer and then run it under water. Nothing ruins a  meal for me like greasy taste or texture.

Over low heat, with your ground beef, onion and garlic in your pan, add 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of ginger, 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes.

I use 1/2 cup of brown sugar, I love sweet, you don’t have to add that much if you don’t are for sweet flavors as much, or maybe you want to add more, go for it.

Same goes for the crushed red pepper flakes, too much and my little guy will complain that it is a too spicy for him.

Mix and simmer for at least 15 minutes. We like to have some of the sauce/liquid for our our rice.

Serve over rice.

This is my go to ground beef recipe. I love the beef. The sweet the heat. And did I mentioned that everyone in our house likes this. Last night Brookland not only ate all of her supper before anyone else but wanted and ate more. That never happens!

A 30 Minute Meal Idea

Oh, did I mention that this is a cheap and quick meal? Using Minute Rice this is a meal you can get on your table in well under 30 minutes, and even with traditional rice you can get on the table in 30 minutes.

This has become a go to meal for nights when I have forgotten to make or plan a supper, or for those days when we have been really busy running errands or going to homeschool groups or what have you.
