It may resemble fried chicken in taste and texture, but these little drumsticks were actually </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">baked in a 350 degree oven for about an hour </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;">(oh, and I covered them in aluminum foil for half the time while they baked). It's a healthy alternative for those that want the taste of fried chicken without the grease. The secret to make this baked chicken taste good is Mayo! I know it sounds gross, but it works a lot better than dipping the drumstick in egg and milk before covering them in the bread crumbs; I actually got the idea from a recipe I found on allrecipes.com about 6 months ago. It works great--the mayo actually helps "lock in" the moisture, which is a must when baking chicken; it also helps the bread crumbs adhere a lot better. So here is the recipe, this makes enough for about 8 drumsticks:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">1/2 cup mayo </span><span style="font-size: 11.2323246002197px;">(there's actually a canola oil version now!)</span><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">8 chicken drumsticks</span><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">1 cup garlic and herb bread crumbs</span><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">1 tsp savory</span><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">1 tsp paprika</span><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">1/2 tsp onion powder</span><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">1/2 tsp salt and pepper</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;">This is a great alternative that will not disappoint! Even Jose said he could it eat every day! That's a pretty big claim to make :).</span></div>

Putting this together reminded me of my college days, when I could eat a bag of Pepperidge Farm Snickerdoodles for dinner, (this was before I had my gallbladder removed) and when eating healthy wasn't a major concern, obviously! But now that those days are over, I'm realizing that even though college kids don't necessarily have much time to cook on a day to day basis, there should still be more recipes available to them that are healthy while also fast and easy to make. The almost-ideal meal would be one that could be prepared in 20 minutes or less while still including more flavor and nutrients than the average college student's boiled water and ramen noodle "specialty" :). (I tended to lean more toward peanut butter and honey sandwiches, but even that wasn't "healthy" since that alone was my dinner when I got tired of dorm food!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;">I think these "fast tacos" are both easy to make and healthy to eat. Though a kitchen is required, and sadly they aren't always available in dorms, it's still a generally low-key dish as far as preparations are concerned. I basically used:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;">about 1 1/2 cup shredded pre-crock-pot-made chicken</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1 organic potato, diced</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1 roma tomato, diced into squares</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1/2 a small green bell pepper</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1/4 tsp pepper</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1/4 tsp garlic salt</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1 tsp epazote</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1/4-1/2 tsp cilantro</span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px; font-weight: bold;"><br />1/4-1/2 tsp oregano</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13.2144994735718px;">I cooked the potato cubes first, then added the rest of the ingredients; cooking them all together for about 10 minutes over a medium flame. I also added beans, and even though I usually make my own beans, I didn't have 3 hours to do that today so I used a great organic alternative. Then I just added about 2 TBSP PACE (this stuff is good, I never mind using it :), a pinch of pepper, and a few shakes of mesquite McCormick seasoning. After that, I heated the beans up in the micro and rolled them up with the cooked chicken/spices/potatoes and cheese in a warm whole wheat tortilla! This meal came together fast and it was pretty good; this is my kind of <a href="http://www.glutenfreebaking101.com/2015/11/gluten-free-fast-food-restaurants.html">fast food</a> :).</span></div>
