Ingredients

  • 6 boneless chicken breast halves
  • 14 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 14 cup water
  • 18 teaspoon pepper
  • 14 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 12 cups tomato sauce, for dipping
  • cooking spray

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Lightly pound chicken breasts.
  • To pound chicken breasts, use a can or bottle or rolling pin.
  • Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap so that whatever you use doesn't touch the chicken and pound lightly.
  • Cut into 1" wide strips.
  • Mix together yogurt, water, salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken strips to yogurt mixture and toss until coated.
  • Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a plastic bag.
  • Add chicken fingers about 3-4 strips at a time and shake until coated.
  • Be sure to use a bag that has a closure, or firmly grip the top of the bag, or use a rubber bacn to keep the bag sealed so that when you shake it, the bread crumbs and chicken fingers don't fall out.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Put chicken fingers on the cookie sheet and spray strips with cooking spray as well.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.
  • Repeat steps 6 and 7 if you don't have enough room on the cookie sheet to cook all chicken fingers at once.
  • Put tomato sauce in a small bowl and use it to dip the chicken fingers.
  • Note: When we did our fingers we also dipped our fingers in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, onion flakes, and paprika.
  • Dip in egg wash then dip in corn flakes.
  • You can substitute stove top or potato flakes seasoned with hot sauce for the bread crumbs.
