Chicken Fingers

Skip the drive-through and make these in your own kitchen. And did I mention they're not fried?


Ingredients:


1 chicken breast (makes about 4 fingers)
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
15 saltine crackers, crushed
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. With a sharp knife, slice chicken breast into four finger-shaped pieces, about 3/4-inch thick. To insure even thickness, slice on a diagonal.

3. Make a dredging station: 1 plate with mustard, 1 plate with the combination of crushed crackers and seasonings, then the baking sheet at the end.

4. Dredge the chicken pieces through the mustard to coat, then coat well with the cracker mixture. Press the mixture onto the outside so it sticks well. Place coated chicken on the baking sheet.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken fingers. Remove from oven when golden brown and fingers are firm when pressed.

6. Serve alone or with dipping sauce such as honey mustard. Enjoy!
