Ingredients

  • 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 low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • olive oil flavored cooking spray
  • 4 medium sized skinless chicken breasts and 4 skinless chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry (about 3 1/2 pounds chicken)

Method

  • 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 and 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 35 to 45 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife.
