Oven Fried Chicken

I have been making this for probably close to a year now and it's definitely a favorite. It's so simple and delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you need a fried chicken fix, this might just take the edge off. Although nothing ever really replaces deep fried goodness, this comes close. I serve it with my Honey Mustard Sauce.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 1/3 cups Rice Krispies

2 1/4 cups broken wheat Melba toast

3 tsp olive oil

3/4 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp Kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (fat free isn't recommended - at least 2%)

1 tsp dijon mustard

Directions

Preheat oven to 475.

Set a cooling rack on a foil lined baking sheet and coat generously with cooking spray.

Grind the Melba toast and Rice Krispies in a food processor or blender. (If you have neither of these, put it in a plastic ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin or mallet.) I like to leave the "breading" mixture a little chunky so I don't process mine too fine. Transfer to a plastic ziplock bag and put in the olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss it around to mix.

In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt and mustard. Add chicken breasts one at a time and coat each side, then put it in the "breading." Shake to coat. Put the chicken on the rack and coat it with cooking spray.

Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes. 

Enjoy!
