Chicken Fingers

I haven't read all over to see if there is a recipe just like this, but I will assume there probably is. I saw part of an Oprah episode last week when Jamie Oliver was on. He is brilliant. He made chicken and I was like "I could do that." I hope this is all game on friendly.




Chicken fingers

2 servings



1 large chicken breast

1 slice of Whole Wheat bread (oroweat has ww bread that is high fructose corn syrup free)

1 tsp (or your fat portion) of ev-olive oil.

Egg white

Seasonings

Mustard

Honey



I had a very large chicken breast and cut it into 10 quarter inch diagonal slices. I toasted the slice of bread and dried it out. I processed it into bread crumbs and seasoned them with tasty herbs and garlic salt. I dipped the chicken pieces into the egg whites then in the bread crumb mixture, and then put in a hot pan with the evoo. It cooks very quickly so I turned them when they were dark golden brown. Remove from heat and serve on a tray with honey mustard. (mix a tiny bit of mustard with a tiny bit of honey. It makes an excellent dip).



Protein: chicken and trace amount of bread crumbs

Carb: Small amount of bread crumbs, and honey mustard, apple slices

Fat: evoo - extra virgin olive oil.



1 large chicken breast is 2 servings of protein for me, so you can make a whole one and save the leftovers for another serving or share. My kids devoured this like nothing I've ever seen. I actually made this on my free day, saturday evening. If it's not legal by some strange way, it didn't lose me any points.
