The Meal Plan: A Healthier Fried Chicken Feast

We have a secret weapon that will put crunchy chicken right back on the menu where we like it, Healthy Living Week or not! Soak lean cutlets in buttermilk overnight, egg and bread with super-crisp panko, pan-fry, then bake. The rest is up to you. What would you like in your mashed potatoes, kale or parsnips? And if you're a broccoli and/or garlic fan, we have a side dish to bring to your attention. It's all about the feast.

Make this chicken: Buttermilk-Baked Chicken

These veggie-spiked potatoes:

And these sides:

For dessert: Apple-Almond Tart

And to drink: how about a Canadian craft beer?
