Crunchy Baked Chicken Fingers

These Baked Chicken Fingers are a healthier alternative to Fried Nuggets and Chicken and equally delicious with a delightful crunch.

Ingredients:
1 egg beaten
2 Boneless Chicken Breasts cut into strips (makes about 10-12 strips).
1 cup Seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 C. Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 C Bisquick or Flour
Garlic Salt to taste
1/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Beat an egg in a bowl and set aside for dipping. Cut up chicken and set aside. Use a large plastic freezer bag and put the leftover ingredients inside and shake gently to mix. Take each piece of chicken and dip in egg then place in bag, shake, remove and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat until you have all of the chicken tenders on the cookie sheet(s). Use cooking spray to lightly coat the tenders. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning once.

I serve these with baked sweet potato fries.

Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into fries
1-2 Tb. Canola Oil
Garlic Salt to taste
Sprinkle of White Pepper
1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 Tsp. Paprika

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl toss sweet potatoes in oil (you may also use egg whites for a healthier alternative). Add seasonings and coat well. Lay out on a greased cookie sheet and spray lightly with more cooking spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, checking them halfway to shake them around to turn.

Another great side is baked macaroni and cheese (from Martha Stewart). http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2007/12/martha-stewart-macaroni-and-cheese-recipe.html

I am still trying out recipes for my own Mac and Cheese so I will keep you posted!
