This easy-to-follow Copycat Olive Garden Fried Lasagna recipe recreates the crispy, cheesy goodness with perfectly golden bundles served with rich marinara and creamy Alfredo sauces. On a recent trip to Olive Garden, I tried the Lasagna Fritta, a deep fried lasagna dish with gooey cheese and two fantastic sauces.    Few chain restaurant dishes stick with me, but I had a hard time getting this one out of my mind.   I decided I wanted to recreate it at home, but instead of an appetizer portion, I wanted dinner size.   

My son can be a very picky eater and I've been looking for ways to get him more involved in the kitchen.    I asked him if he'd be interested in choosing a one meal a week to learn to cook.   He thought for a minute and said, "Well, it's not a meal, but I'd like to learn to make a cake from scratch."   How could I say no?   I had a huge container of strawberries to use up, so we searched and decided on this recipe.

These crispy Southern Fried Chicken Strips are seasoned, fried until golden brown, and stay tender inside with a crunchy coating that holds up well after cooking. Made with chicken tenderloins and a simple seasoned batter, they’re classic comfort food worth the effort.
