I love to be in my kitchen. Cooking old favorites, modifying recipes and trying out new ones is one of my greatest passions in life. I particularly like to try to mimic the tastes and flavors of favorite restaurant or fast food meals that I normally avoid because of their ridiculously high calorie, fat or sugar content. Everybody, it seems, has a passion for those little fried chicken pieces that are so tasty, yet so high in trans fat and calories. I have my own version of this recipe that I would like to share today.

1 lb. chicken tenders, cut in strips (it’s okay to cube a chicken breast if that’s what you have available)
1/2 cup flour
1 cup egg substitute
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 package dry Italian dressing mix
Paprika

Mix the Italian dressing mix with the bread crumbs.

Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then dip in the egg substitute. Coat with the bread crumb mixture. Place in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Dust with Paprika. Place in oven set a 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

These have been a hit with everyone who has tried them. As you can see, they are baked, not fried.
