As an avid Scandal fan, I’ve decided to find ways to incorporate popcorn into different meals – because Olivia Pope is officially the only human who can sustain herself on wine and popcorn alone. The rest of us need a little somethin’ extra.
I give you – Popcorn and Cereal-Crusted Chicken.
Use the dijon mustard for a mellower taste, go with straight egg for a spicier kick or just make one of each and share like I did.
