Oven Fried Chicken

Serves: 6-8  Prep Time: 15 min. Cook Time: 45 min.

Ingredients:

• ½ sleeve (about 20) whole-grain salted crackers, pulsed in a food processor until fine (about ½ cup)
• 2 ½ cups corn cereal flakes, pulsed in a food processor to fine crumbs (about ½ cup)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup low-fat, plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Olive oil cooking spray
• 4 medium sized skinless chicken breasts and 4 skinless chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry (about 3½ pounds chicken)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Combine the crackers and corn cereal crumbs, sesame seeds, cayenne, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Reserve.
3. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly with the yogurt mixture.
4. 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.
5. Bake for 45 – 50 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife.
