Country Fried Chicken - The Healthier Version

[WrenBird 11]

I love KFC and mustard. Anyone who knows me, knows that.

But now that I'm eating healthier, KFC is out of the question (except I ate a bit today...It was only potato though...Don't judge me, I haven't eaten junk food in months!).

Anyways, here's a good recipee for Faux Fried Chicken:

1 lb chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips

3 Tbsp Dijon mustard (Or just use wholegrain mustard with egg)

2 1/2 c cornflakes

2 tsp minced fresh sage

1 tsp minced fresh thyme BBQ or honey-mustard sauce (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Using a pastry brush, coat each piece of chicken with Dijon mustard.

2. In a food processor or blender, combine the cornflakes, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to a coarse meal and transfer to a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken strip in the cornflake mixture until evenly coated. Place on baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce, if desired.
