Achieve fried-chicken without frying. Why try it? Baking cuts down on oil and unhealthy fats while giving you a dish as close to fried chicken as possible. Enjoy with coleslaw, sweet potato "fries", three-bean salad, easy corn and bean salad or other favorite sides. 

Ingredients


Buttermilk - ⅓ cup, reduced-fat Paprika - ¼ teaspoon Chicken - 12 oz raw boneless, skinless chicken tenders (about 10 pieces) Bran-cereal - ⅓ cup plain bran cereal Panko - ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs Parmesan - ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese Garlic-powder - 1 teaspoon Onion-powder - 1 teaspoon Salt-and-pepper - to taste

Instructions

Step 1
Place buttermilk and paprika in a large sealable plastic bag and mix well.
Step 2
Add chicken to plastic bag and coat completely. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 375 °F . Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.
Step 4
Using a food processor or blender, grind bran cereal into breadcrumb-like texture and pour into a large bowl.
Step 5
Add panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
One at a time, remove raw chicken tender from plastic bag, give it a shake to remove excess buttermilk, coat it evenly in the crumb mixture, and lay it flat on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes on each side, or until all sides are crispy and chicken is cooked through.
