Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 spray Olive or Canola Oil Cooking spray
  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into vertical strips.
  • 2 cups Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard If desired.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 2 1/2 cups Cornflake or Honey Bunches of Oats cereal Crushed.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Rinse your boneless, skinless chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel; set aside.
  3. Add the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, honey, sea salt, and dijon mustard (if desired) to a large bowl. Place the chicken into the bowl and toss to coat each in yogurt, cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge for 20 minutes.
  4. After 20 minutes, place half of the crushed cornflake cereal in a ziploc bag and add half of the yogurt-coated chicken to the bag, shaking to coat.
  5. Remove and place on a large greased baking sheet then repeat with the second half of the cereal and chicken.
  6. Spray the chicken with cooking spray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve.

Notes

  • Baking time: Will depend on how large or thick your chicken tenders are. Check after 20 minutes for small tenders.
  • Chicken nuggets: These can also be made into chicken nuggets; just cut the chicken into smaller cube-like pieces before marinating.
