OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

This healthy alternative has the same great taste as deep fried chicken without all of the grease, the risk of being splashed with hot oil, and (most importantly) without all of the calories!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (about 20) whole-grain salted crackers, crumbled until fine
  • 2 1/2 cups corn cereal flakes, crumbled (will turn in to about 1/2 cup)
  • 3/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup lowfat, plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 medium sized skinless chicken pieces (your choice or thigh, breast)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.
Combine the crackers and corn cereal crumbs, seasoning salt, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly with the yogurt mixture. One at a time, dip the chicken pieces in the cracker mixture, packing crumbs onto chicken. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife. Enjoy!
