Recipe of the day

{OVEN FRIED CHICKEN}
3 slices 100% whole wheat bread
2 tbsp barbecue chicken seasoning, divided
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
½ tsp dried thyme
½ cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup fat-free egg substitute or 1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp water
6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs and 6 skinless chicken drumsticks
Olive or canola oil cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Move oven rack to bottom third of oven. Tear bread into chunks and place in the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper. Pulse on and off until bread is reduced to fluffy crumbs. You should have about 1 ½ cups bread crumbs. Transfer bread crumbs to a shallow bowl and add 1 tbsp barbecue chicken seasoning, parmesan cheese, and thyme. Mix well and set aside. In another shallow bowl, mix together flour and remaining barbecue chicken seasoning and set aside. Pour egg substitute into another shallow bowl. Working one chicken piece at a time, roll it first in flour mixture, and then dip it in beaten egg. Shake off excess egg, then coat chicken in seasoned crumbs. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces. (It can get messy, so hang in there.) Spray chicken pieces with a light coating of cooking spray. Bake for 40 minutes, until crumbs are lightly browned and chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Makes 6 servings. One piece of chicken per serving.

I made this one for dinner tonight. Chad enjoyed it. I am going to try it again with boneless chicken breast.

I did two pages last night at the craft night but I just need to add the journaling and then I can post them. Thanks for stopping in.
