chicken and friesMost children will eat chicken and fries. You can purchase chicken tenders in the meat department or ask for them specifically at your grocer. Roll your strips in bread crumbs or crushed cereal and bake in an oven at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Serve the tenders with ketchup or other sauce. The tenders can also be cut into bite-sized pieces. Oven-baked fries can be cooked with the chicken.
