Parmesan Crusted Chicken Tenders

So, to keep you all coming back for more, and since pregnancy stuff is boring to those who aren't, and probably to those who are, I'm posting a recipe. The Mom sent it to me months and months ago, and we finally tried it a couple of weeks ago. It's super good, AND easy, which means it gets an automatic 4 stars at least. So, here it is:

Parmesan Crusted Chicken Tenders

Spray cooking oil (I used Walfarts 100% olive oil spray)

2/3 C. bread crumbs

1/4 C. Parmesan cheese

2 Tblsp. parsley

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1 Tblsp. mustard

2 egg whites

1 lb raw chicken tenders

Place oven rack in top third of oven. Heat oven to 425. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and spray rack with cooking oil. In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper. In another small bowl, beat together mustard and egg whites until frothy and opaque.

Dip each chicken tender in egg white mixture, then in breadcrumb mixture to coat all sides, then place on prepared baking rack. Spray each tender with oil, all sides. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.

For any I know who are on low carb diets (The East-Coast In-Laws, I'm looking at you), this might be a good recipe for you. A coating of bread crumbs shouldn't be too many carbs, right? Just skip the delicious, delicious fries you could serve them with. Mmmmm, fries.

Oh my holy banana crap! I'm going to be a mom in less than 2 months!
