Not Fried Chicken - Better

I came across this recipe in a Cooking Light Magazine and it competes with the commercial fried version quite nicely. Since it is baked and not fried, you can enjoy all you want!

Mix in a bowl:
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp.spicy brown mustard
Mix in a food processor:
  • 1-2 tbsp Essence
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp onion flakes
  • 4 chicken breasts - no bone or skin
Dip the chicken pieces in ice water. Set 2-3 minutes ( I don't do this, and it turns out fine) Coat with yogurt mixture and dip in crumb mixture. Spray cooking sheet with vegetable spray. Put chicken on pan. Spray chicken lightly with vegetable spray. Bake in hot 400 degree F oven for about 40 minutes.

A juicy, healthier alternative to the commercial chain variety. Enjoy!
