Servings: 4
You don't need oil or flour to prepare crispy, crunchy chicken.
Dietary fiber: 2 grams.
2 pounds skinless, boneless
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
chicken breasts
2 teaspoons creole seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups Wheaties
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Season chicken with Creole seasoning
or if you prefer, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Pour Wheaties into a large plastic Ziploc bag. Close, removing air from
the bag. Crush the Wheaties with a rolling pin, being careful not to make the
coating too fine. Add the garlic powder and sesame seeds to the Wheaties and
shake the bag to mix well.
In a shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk and Worcestershire sauce;
mix and set aside.
Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Pour the Wheaties mixture onto a large plate. Dip the chicken pieces
first in the buttermilk; coat well on all sides. Then dredge the chicken in the
Wheaties mixture.
Arrange the chicken pieces on the coated baking sheet. Spray the
chicken lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes or until
golden brown.
Variations: Skinless bone-in chicken pieces can be substituted for the
chicken breasts, if you like. If so the cooking time should be increased.
Experiment with the family's favorite spices, perhaps dried rosemary, to coat
the chicken. Or substitute low-fat milk mixed with one egg for the buttermilk
as a coating.
