From DrizzlemeSkinny

Ingredients
  • Boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • Cornflakes
  • Egg whites
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I like to give mine a little spray too, with cooking spray)
  2. Cut your chicken into strips
  3. Crush up your cornflakes, I like to do it the old fashioned way, in a bag and crush down with a heavy glass, then pour them out onto a plate.
  4. Dip your chicken pieces into the egg whites and then coat them in the cornflakes.
  5. Bake in oven for approx 20-25 min, turning half way.
  6. /3 cup of cornflakes will coat 6 oz of raw chicken, making a 5oz (cooked) serving 4 smart points.
  7. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (points not incl)
  8. *Note-you can coat your chicken in some flour first, I just don't find its necessary..
