Trends aren’t something I usually pay attention to, unless it has something to do with food, of course! And something that is still trending is Everything Bagel Seasoning. I’ve posted a dip and a chicken dish using the spice blend, and we love it on salmon (a future post). The Everything Bagel deviled eggs are still in the developmental stage, but I have high hopes for that recipe, too. I don’t think I am quite ready for Everything Bagel Ice Cream yet, although it is on the market. My recipe for today uses this trending seasoning in the coating for chicken sandwiches.
Everything Bagel seasoning mix is made up of two kinds of seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, along with some salt. The mixture is quickly put together at home or readily available at supermarkets. Poppy seeds are one of the ingredients making up the spice blend. They are the tiny dried seed of the opium poppy. But there is no need to worry. The fluid in the poppy flower bud that is made into the narcotic opium is no longer present when the seeds are fully formed, so poppy seeds do not have narcotic properties. These seeds complement many lemon flavored baked goods and are a great addition to numerous dishes, as well as being an integral part of Everything Bagel Seasoning!
Note on the recipe procedure: baking the breaded chicken on a rack allows the bottom to become crispier than it otherwise would. A broiler pan with a rack can be used in place of a rack in a baking pan.
