Recipe Ideas: From Snacking to Spectacular
Here are several recipe ideas, ranging from easy appetizers to impressive entrees, all showcasing the versatility of Everything Bagel Pringles:
1. Everything Bagel Pringles Crusted Chicken Tenders
Elevate your chicken tender game with this simple yet flavorful recipe. The crushed Pringles create a crispy, savory coating that’s far more exciting than traditional breadcrumbs.
**Ingredients:**
* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into tenders
* 1 cup Everything Bagel Pringles, crushed (about half a can)
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 large eggs, beaten
* 1 tablespoon milk or cream
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Cooking oil (for frying) or non-stick cooking spray (for baking)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Chicken:** Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
2. **Set up the Breading Station:** In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, the beaten eggs mixed with milk/cream, and the crushed Everything Bagel Pringles mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
3. **Bread the Chicken:** Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, press the chicken tender into the crushed Pringles, making sure the entire surface is covered. Repeat for all the chicken tenders.
4. **Cook the Chicken (Frying Option):** Heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken tenders in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
5. **Cook the Chicken (Baking Option):** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place the breaded chicken tenders on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Flip the tenders halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
6. **Serve:** Serve the Everything Bagel Pringles crusted chicken tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli.
**Tips and Variations:**
* For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the crushed Pringles mixture.
* Use an air fryer for a healthier, crisper result. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
* Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the Pringles mixture for a cheesy twist.
2. Everything Bagel Pringles Dip
This creamy, crunchy dip is perfect for parties or a simple snack. It combines the flavors of Everything Bagel Pringles with cream cheese and sour cream for a truly addictive experience.
**Ingredients:**
* 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup Everything Bagel Pringles, crushed
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Extra Everything Bagel Pringles, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. **Combine Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
2. **Fold in Pringles and Chives:** Gently fold in the crushed Everything Bagel Pringles and chopped chives (if using). Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the Pringles’ crunch.
3. **Season to Taste:** Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the Pringles already contain salt, so start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
4. **Chill:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps the dip thicken slightly.
5. **Serve:** Serve the Everything Bagel Pringles dip with extra Pringles for dipping, as well as other dippers like vegetables, pretzels, or crackers.
**Tips and Variations:**
* Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
* Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier, healthier option.
* Mix in some finely chopped red onion or scallions for added flavor.
* For a smoother dip, pulse the Pringles in a food processor before adding them to the mixture, but be careful not to turn them into dust.

4. **Bake:** Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the mac and cheese is bubbly. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil.
5. **Garnish (Optional):** Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
