The refrigerator light goes on...

Melba toast is amazing as breading! Fried chicken doesn't have to be fried to taste like fried chicken.

1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 box (5 ounces) plain melba toast
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 4 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
spray oil

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

In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, place the melba toast, thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Process until small breadcrumbs. 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 breadcrumbs, 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.
