Creating Snacks That Satisfy

One treat often associated with warm-weather fun—such as beach trips and camping—is the delicious potato chip.

Thanks to a resealable lid that keeps them fresh, Pringles crisps are an ideal snack for car and plane trips but they are also a tasty ingredient in easy-to-prepare recipes.

Try this quick-fix chicken recipe using the crisps.

Chicken Pringlers

Ingredients:
2 6.38-ounce cans of Pringles (BBQ or Honey Mustard flavor)
2 pounds of boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders, cut into 1½” nuggets
2 cups of skim milk or buttermilk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle. Place nuggets in milk. Puree the Pringles in a food processor and pour into a large sealable plastic bag. Place 2 or 3 nuggets at a time in the bag and shake to coat.

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and place the well-coated nuggets in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and let stand, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes to crisp.

Pringles are available in 11 flavors (Original, Sour Cream & Onion, Cheddar Cheese, BBQ, Jalapeño, Pizza, Ranch, Bacon Ranch, Loaded Baked Potato, Salt & Vinegar and Honey Mustard). Once you are done snacking or cooking, the empty containers can be used for the fun activities that follow.

Beach Souvenirs: Use your can while collecting seashells and beach glass this summer at the beach. Not only does the can make a great carrying case for any beach souvenirs you come across, but it can also be used for storage when you bring your treasures back home.

Coin Bank: Need a place to keep your spare change? Bring along an empty can for your car to store change for the toll booth or to store the spare change weighing down your wallet.

BBQ Centerpiece: For a great arts and crafts project, decorate the outside of the can and turn it into a creative centerpiece holder for your next barbecue party. Or use the decorated, empty cans to display cutlery.
