Dinner Idea

Since I love and admire you all, I know I would like to know when you find a good recipe/idea/or whatever. So I thought we could expand our challenge blog to include all of the other good things we find in life. For example, we had a great dinner last night, so here it is!

Crispy Parmesan Chicken

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 egg white
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup cornflake crumbs
1/2 tsp paprika

• Preheat over to 400. Cut chicken crosswise into 1/4" thick strips.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together egg white and 2 tsp water. In another dish, stur together parmesan cheese, cornflake crumbs, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Dip each chicken strip into egg white mixture, roll in crumb mixture and place on greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy golden and no longer pink inside.
