1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 Tbsp. light mayonnaise
1 box (5 ounces) plain melba toast
1/4 tsp. salt
4 - 4 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  spray oil

Place the egg, egg white and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Place the melba toast and salt in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until small bread crumbs. Leave some pieces about the size of currants.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Dredge a chicken breast in the egg mixture coating thoroughly. Dredge in the bread crumbs patting and turning frequently until well coated.

Place the chicken on a cookie sheet or baking rack and then place in oven. Bake for 3 minutes and then lightly spray the top of each chicken breast with the oil. Bake 5 minutes more and then turn. Spray lightly with the oil again and bake for about 6 more minutes.

This recipe works well with any piece of chicken (with or without the bone). Use skinless legs, thighs or breasts.
