The Last Food Lab

Monday's food lab was the last food lab (or food experience). Among a laundry list of other reasons, no pun intended fellow FCS teachers, an empty budget was a small surprise. 

In truth, I had planned for 3 more labs thinking I would have time to get the paperwork through and enough in my budget to get the groceries. Nope. 

This was an extremely difficult lab (mentally) even though I did all the premeasuring. With a 45 minute time limit, this lab was still just ... Nope. 

Recipe

3tbsp butter

2 cups chicken, cubed into bite size pieces

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 375.

In a small bowl, melt 1 tbsp butter, pour into a baking dish. 

Melt remaining butter in a small bowl. 

Dip chicken pieces into melted butter then roll in bread crumbs. Place in buttered pan. 

Bake for 20 minutes. 

Notes for Next Time:

Provide less chicken.

Connections:

We connected our learning back to foodborne illnesses and practiced avoiding cross-contamination. 

Oh, and this happened. 

Perfect for future safety and sanitation lessons.
