Best chicken nuggets ever

I'm not going to lie to you - I stole this recipe! BUT it's delicious so I'm going to share with you.  Here is the recipe from the website: "2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts 1 cup milk 1 egg 1 1/4 cups flour 2 TBSP powdered sugar 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper peanut oil (is best) or canola oil In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk. Trim any fat away from chicken. Cube chicken into bite size pieces. Place chicken in milk mixture,and cover. Let it 'marinate' for 2-4 hours in the fridge. This will make the chicken very nice and tender. In a gallon size resealable baggie combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Seal and shake to combine. Place about 2 inches of oil in a medium deep pot. Over medium high heat (more towards the high side) heat oil until hot. If using a thermometer let the temperature reach 375°.

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.
