Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for the dippers.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Slice the boneless skinless chicken breasts into long strips, approximately one inch wide to create bite-sized pieces that will cook evenly.
-
Egg White Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites using a fork until they are frothy, which will help the coating stick to the chicken.
-
Coat the Chicken: Add the chicken strips to the bowl with the egg whites and stir until each piece is thoroughly coated, ensuring maximum flavor and texture.
-
Combine the Coating: In a separate small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, and crushed corn flakes to create a crunchy coating.
-
Prepare for Coating: Dump the corn flake mixture onto a plate or shallow baking pan for easy access while coating the chicken.
-
Coat the Chicken Strips: Take each chicken strip and press it into the corn flake mixture, coating both sides well to ensure a crispy texture when baked.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken dippers on a baking sheet that has been lightly greased with Pam cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Spray for Crispiness: Once all chicken dippers are placed on the baking sheet, give them a light spray of Pam to enhance their crispiness during baking.
-
Bake the Dippers: Bake the chicken dippers in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, allowing the heat to crisp them up beautifully.
-
Flip and Finish: After 10 minutes, carefully flip each dipper over and return them to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden.
-
Serve: Once cooked, serve your delicious Low Fat Chicken Dippers hot, accompanied by your favorite plum or BBQ sauce for dipping.
This recipe not only offers a delightful taste but also provides a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken options. Enjoy these tasty dippers as an appetizer, snack, or party dish!
