Ingredients

1/2 sleeve (about 20) whole-grain salted crackers, pulsed in a food processor until fine (about 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 cups corn cereal flakes, pulsed in a food processor to fine crumbs (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 egg whites
1 cup lowfat, plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
Olive oil cooking spray
4 medium sized skinless chicken breasts and 4 skinless chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry (about 3 1/2 pounds chicken)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.

Combine the crackers and corn cereal crumbs, sesame seeds, cayenne, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Reserve.

In a large bowl, combine egg whites, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly with the yogurt mixture.

One at a time, dip the chicken pieces in the cracker mixture, packing crumbs onto chicken. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife.

This recipe is a keeper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I printed out this recipe and then my daughter made it for us one day last week. It was absolutely terrific! My daughter... took the skin off the chicken and because of the coating, which included yogurt, the chicken was tender and very juicy. It was delicious and we will be making it often as I am a diabetic and my husband has cholesterol issues. It fits right into our life style. Thank you, Ellie!Read more

My version
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I actually made up my own recipe before I saw this one (or any others online). For the crumb mixture, I used Frosted Flakes... (store brand (Lucky's) was good enough), Chinese 5-spice mixture, and this McCormick "Far East Asian Garlic/Sesame Seed" blend I found at the supermarket. For the "glue", I used egg whites only (forgot how to make an egg wash, but egg only was sticky enough). The sweetness of the Frosted Flakes complemented the other spices nicely. My family loved it. BTW, I found out later that the McCormick spice had expired 2 years ago, even though the bottle was unopened. None of us got sick, but it's a reminder to check the expiration dates at the supermarket!!Read more

Very good, but could use a dipping sauce
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband and I liked this a lot. I used panko instead of normal breadcrumbs and it turned out great. Next time I'll make... a dipping sauce to go with it - maybe honey mustard would be good.Read more

Excellent "fried chicken"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this as chicken strips for my family. It was fantastic. If I were told I had to cut back on fried foods and live... with this...I could deal with it very easily. The flavors were fantasic. Only warning is if you are serving to kids...you may want to cut back on the cayenne pepper. I thought it wasn't much but my 7 & 5 year old said it was spicy for them. Nice job Ellie!Read more

so so
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The only alteration I made to this recipe was instead of part crushed crackers, I just used the corn flakes. But I did... marinated this for at least 4 hrs hoping that it would make a difference in the flavoring or texture. My complaint is that the chicken was not flavorful enough and too dry. Otherwise, the coating was good. I won't be making this again. Too many other recipes too try:)Read more
