I love fried chicken but it is so bad for you that I try to avoid it as much as possible. I have found baking chicken to be a good alternative but sometimes I miss that crunch. Enter crispy balsamic chicken. With the texture from the breadcrumbs and the amazing taste sensation of garlic and balsamic vinegar, this is a recipe you are likely to add to the rotation. Be sure to check out part one of this episode for Oven Roasted Potatoes with Garlic and Rosemary. They make a great side for this one.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (I used Italian)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 egg whites (I used the egg beater style ones)
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- salt & pepper
Directions
Put bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, and salt in medium bowl and mix.
Whisk together vinegar and egg whites in smaller bowl.
Dip chicken in vinegar mixture then dry mixture.
Place on sprayed cookie sheet.
Spray the top of the chicken breasts with cooking spray (I used butter flavored)
Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Bake 400 for 30-40 minutes, till fork tender and juices run clear.
