Cheez-It Chicken

Source: The Novice Chef

Ingredients

1/2 cup Reduced Fat Cheez-Its, crushed

1/2 cup fat free buttermilk (can use 1 tsp. vinegar and 1/2 cup fat free milk)

3 TBSP. all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1 lb. chicken breasts (I used chicken tenders)

4 tsp. Canola oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Pour the buttermilk (vinegar/milk mixture) into a large shallow bowl. On a sheet of wax paper combine the Cheez-It crumbs, flour, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, then dredge in the Cheez-It mixture, coating completely.

Place the chicken on the baking sheets, drizzle with the canola oil.

If you are using chicken breasts cook for 30 minutes, then turn chicken over and bake until cooked through; 15 - 20 minutes.

If you are using chicken tenders, cook for 15 minutes, then turn chicken over and bake until cooked through; 10 - 15 minutes.
