Tonight for dinner, I made zucchini carrot latkes and Cool ranch fried chicken. I swear it only took me about a half an hour to make, and its full of veggies and protein!

Potato-less Latkes with Crunchy Cool Ranch Chicken

1 Zucchini

1/2 Large Carrot

1 egg

Sesame seeds

2 cloves Garlic, chopped

1 chicken breast, cut up into fingers

20 cool ranch Doritos, crushed up

1/2cup Bread Crumbs

In 3 seperate bowls, add flour to one, one egg yolk to the next, and the breadcrumbs and crushed chips to the last. Dunk the chicken in the flour, covering it completely. Next, cover it in the egg yolk, and finally put it into the bowl with the chip and bread crumbs, and cover it completly. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, grate the carrot and zucchini, and squeeze all the water out of it. Add in the egg white, salt, pepper, garlic and sesame seeds, and mix until completely combined. Seperate into 5 patties in a hot pan, and fry until the one side is crispy and golden brown. Turn over and fry the next side to a crispy and golden brown. Set aside

While the first side of the latkes are cooking, in another pan, fill with 1/2 oil and begin to fry the one side of the chicken. Turn the chicken when the first side is golden brown and crispy, then fry the next side until the chicken is cooked all of the way through. Put the chicken between two pieces of paper towel to squeeze out any extra oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces!

This was a very good meal for throwing it together in a half an hour! Try it yourself. Substitute the veggies for whatever root veg  is in your veggie drawer, and adjust cooking time accordingly. The chips can also be substitutes for regular Lays, or cheesey Doritos!

Happy cooking!
