Ingredients

    1/4 cup olive oil for frying
    1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup egg substitute or 4 egg whites
    Breading:
    1cup plain bread crumbs
    Seasoning: 1 Tbl. thyme, 1 T. rosemary, 1T. parsley, 1T. tarragon, salt and pepper to taste
    (1-2cloves garlic, finely chopped, and
    1/2 cup grated parmesan- if used for chicken parmesan- not included in this nutrition info.)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a nonstick cookie sheet with foil. Place sheet in oven.
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to med-high heat. Place flour in shallow dish, place egg whites in a second dish. In a 3rd dish, combine the breading ingredients (add parm here). Coat chicken in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Disposable pans make clean up easier.
Fry chicken until deep golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes. If the chicken starts browning too soon, turn down the heat. Transfer to pre-heated cookie sheet and bake for 5 more minutes.
Serve as an entree`, on a salad, or over whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce for chicken parmigiano.

    Thanks Amy. I have been thinking about trying Fiber One I've seen in other recipes. I'll edit this if I like it. :-)
