Mozzarella sticks from string cheese

My Aunt posted a link on Facebook one day about homemade mozzarella sticks that were made from string cheese. Of course by the time I was ready to try the recipe I couldn't find the original post. So I went to Pinterest in search of the same recipe. I couldn't find the same, but I found one close enough that we decided to give it a try.

 

I started with 7 sticks of string cheese because, well that's all I had left in my pack.

 

 

Some breadcrumbs

 

Italian Seasoning

 

Parmesan cheese

 

 

Mixed my bread crumbs and Italian seasoning as well as some parmesan cheese

 

One egg - whisk the egg

 

Cut my cheese sticks in half 

 

 

Dip in the egg

 

Then into the breadcrumb mixture

 

Roll it around and coat it nicely

 

Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 350 degrees

 

They didn't come out very nicely, but here they are.

 

They must be eaten hot or they become tough to chew as they cool. I need to figure out a work around on the coating because I was not a big fan of it. The kids ate one maybe two of them but they did not finish this like they did my chicken nuggets which I posted about in my last post.

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Trying to come up with a new dinner idea, I was looking for a recipe for homemade mozzarella sticks using string cheese. In this search I came across a recipe on Pinterest for these chicken nuggets.

What a hit they were! My kids went back for seconds and then thirds! I have never made any meal that they have wanted more after their second plate. How exciting!

I used 4 chicken breast tenders
Breadcrumbs which I seasoned with Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese as well as some salt
Olive Oil

 

 

Cut your chicken tenders (or breasts if you choose that route) into 1" cubes. Toss in olive oil

 

Toss in the breadcrumb mixture

 

Place on a baking sheet

 

Put in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes turning half way through.

 

The kids were so hungry that I forgot to take an "after" picture because they dove right in. BUT these are by far the easiest and one of the best meals I've made according to my kids. They are also pretty healthy too!
