Before you completely disregard this recipe because of how odd it sounds - i urge you to give it a chance first before you totally deem this blog as useless.
I don't know if any of you have ever decided to have an extra healthy night and bake a plain chicken breast like I have - but it doesn't taste so great. Especially when you try and avoid extra calories by putting no marinade, no cooking oils, no anything delicious on this chicken. However, I have now discovered a way to turn a plain old baked chicken breast (on a night where you are feeling particularly pudge) into something SO delish and SO healthy. Breadcrumbs? No thanks. I've got my breakfast cereal!
You will need (serves 2):
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups Original Special K cereal (crushed)
1 cup plain yogurt
3-4 sprigs of rosemary (finely chopped)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together your "breadcrumbs", your rosemary and salt and pepper together in a plate. Dip each chicken breast first into your yogurt (coverings the whole chicken) and then into the "breadcrumb" mixture. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes.
Get the crispy crunchy taste and texture of crispy oven baked chicken but without all the extra calories you get from dipping in egg and regular breadcrumbs....... Not to say that that's not a delicious way to make chicken and if you are breading veal or making a special dinner for guests - I would still take this route. But for a weekday healthy alternative that's sure to satisfy - try this one out!
Happy Eating!
