Tuesday's Dinner

Tried this great recipe tonight - so I thought I would share!

Chicken Tenders
1 lbs chicken tenderloins
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup egg substitute
3/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil

1.  Preheat oven to 425.
2.  Cut tenderloin in half lengthwise; cut into 20 (2-inch) pieces.
3.  Place flour in a shallow dish.  Place egg substitute in another.  Combine panko, cheese, garlic salt, and pepper in another dish.  Dredge chicken flour; dip in egg substitute, and dredge in breadcrumb mixture.  Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat.  Add turkey pieces to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side.  Place chicken pieces on a broiler pan.  Bake at 425 for 5 minutes.  Turn pieces over, and bake another 5 minutes or until golden.  Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 5 pieces)

So these were really good.  Melody doesn't like chicken and she said they were good.  I didn't have egg substitute so I used 2 eggs and beat them with a fork a little bit.  I didn't have garlic salt either, so I used 1/4 t garlic powder and 1/4 t salt.  They were really good.  Tomorrow I'm going to cut up the left overs and eat them over a salad for a grilled chicken salad.  I will be making them again..... soon.  :)
