Oven Fried Chicken

Corn cereal crumbs and crushed crackers create a delicious coating. The yogurt tenderizes the chicken. A light spray of olive oil before baking guarantees lightly crispy results.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.

Combine the crackers and corn cereal crumbs, sesame seeds, cayenne, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Reserve.

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.

    It was very good, used bread crumbs and greek yogurt and sea salt.
    The chicken stayed juice. I made this for my health cautions parents and they both loved it! Both of them were still nibbling on the chicken and pieces of the crust even after they said they were done
    I think that the next time cut out a little of the cayanne pepper.

    This was a great alternative to greasy fried chicken! The family enjoyed the crispy coating without any of the guilt. Delicious!
