Real Milk California

I am so excited that I teamed up with Real Milk California for a super special event. From now until Dec 31, 2017, Real Milk California is having a social media campaign called #SealsforGood. The gist is this – share a photo of their special seal (see the photo below) along with the hashtag #SealsforGood and for every submission Real California Milk will donate $5 to the Great American Milk Drive (up to $20,000) to help families affected by hurricane Harvey and Irma in Texas and Florida. No purchase necessary. You can learn more about this here. 

My husband tried to give me some serious grief about working with a California Dairy company, when I have been so adamantly pro-Iowa. BUT, I feel like our country is going through so much right now – between natural disasters and cultural conflicts, what we need now is more unity and compassion, not more division. Plus, its hard not to support company that is so adamant about supporting real food made by real families. So yeah, GO REAL MILK CALIFORNIA!

I did have a bit of an issue finding these seals at my local grocers, however I did definitely find some! You can find these seals on any dairy product – milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, even ice cream! So grab your smart phone and your kids and have a fun scavenger hunt at your local grocer! Don’t forget to use the hashtag #SealsforGood!

Instructions

Creole Chicken Tenders

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• In one bowl, combine greek yogurt and dijon mustard. In a second bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, garlic powder, pepper and salt.
• Dip the chicken tenders into the yogurt mixture and then coat in the breadcrumbs.
• Place the chicken tenders onto a wire rack and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Do NOT skip this step, it really helps the chicken tenders turn out nice and crunchy!
• Place a piece of parchment paper or a silat mat on a baking sheet and transfer the chicken tenders to the baking sheet. If you have an oven safe wire rack, use that, too!
• Spray the chicken tenders with cooking spray.
• Bake for 18-23 minutes.

Dipping Sauce:

In a bowl, combine the greek yogurt, parsley, cajun seasoning mix (start with 1 TBSp and adjust to your taste preferences) and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
