I’m Stacey Pimm

I juggle so many hats, as a digital content creator, author of a children’s book series, twin mama, chaos coordinator all the while trying to navigate the teenage era, book girlie, Type one diabetic, going blind, dance in the kitchen while being a baking master, always licking the spoon! hotel hopper, experimenting with what my Nana did during The Great Depression, PNW born and raised, lover of the ocean and rain, and just as much as a palm tree and warm breeze lover. And now your new friend!

That was a lot to describe, but I am hoping something will resonate with you! My goal with writing this blog is to have you come with me as I journey through this next chapter, finding my voice as I listen to yours.

First thing you have to do is make the amazing friend chicken, I use chicken tenders. 

Chicken Tenders (Step one) 

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 6-8 cups canola or peanut oil for frying
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk for best flavor or milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning or generic version
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon MSG strictly optional. If you have an aversion or sensitivity to this, please omit it!
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder preferably granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder preferably granulated onion

Transfer chicken to paper towel-lined plates using a slotted spoon. Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks.
  • 2 cups prepared mashed potatoes

  • 6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained.

    Peel, cut  and boil the potatoes until ready to mash, add butter and  a pinch of salt and a splash of milk.  Take the corn and heat that up.  Layer mash potatoes,  chicken then corn. then repeat. Add the cheddar cheese. I sometimes put sour cream on the top layer, and in the past we have used bacon bits on the top, Think of it like a baked potato but a fried chicken bowl instead.
