Corn cereal crumbs and crushed crackers create a delicious coating. The yogurt tenderizes the chicken. A light spray of olive oil before baking guarantees lightly crispy results.
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.

Everyone in my family enjoyed this chicken! It had a great taste and not at all dry. I used wheat thins and they took a little longer in the processor, so I might try a little softer cracker next time. I hesitated on the amount of cayenne, but no need to worry. Spice was not a problem at all. I would really recommend this chicken to anyone who wants to serve a healthier meal to their family without sacrificing taste.

This recipe is excellent for a juicy, crispy and very tasty "fried" chicken. Comes together very fast with help of food processor. I used Breton whole grain crackers with sesame. The "breading" comes out spicy to taste, but once cooked and eaten with the chicken it is perfect. I like that it doesn't contain melted butter. Am sharing with friends and family and will definitely be making again.
