Sometimes I get ‘eating block’ when I’m struggling for inspiration at the supermarket. I want to try something new but there’s a debate going on between my stomach and my head!

Stomach says “Just buy it and feed me”, head says “Well hang on, how can I make this more interesting to eat?”

So before you start going mad down a supermarket isle, it’s worth remembering that you can jazz most things up with pre-prepared breadcrumbs, yes, plain-old breadcrumbs!

So you’ve bought a plain chicken breast, salmon fillet, piece of pork or a bag of white fish and you don’t know what to do next, well, you can bread them. Simply have 3 separate bowls with one of the following in each:

  • Flour
  • Egg
  • Breadcrumbs

Dip your piece of meat/fish in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs and cook in the oven – simple! If that’s not enough, it tastes even better if you mix a little chilli powder (or other herb of your choice) in the breadcrumbs.

FitBrits.com already has two great breaded recipes which are really quick and easy to make. So why not check out our recipe for Homemade Fish and Chips and our Chicken Nuggets Recipe and let us know how you get on through Facebook.
