Chicken Tenders II

Ingredients:
2/3 cup Bisquick mix
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt or garlic salt
1/2 tsp paprika
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1/4 cup fat-free egg product
3 Tbsp vegetable oil spread, melted

Heat oven to 450. Line cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. In a resealable food-storage plastic bag, stir together Bisquick, Parmesan, salt and paprika. Dip the chicken strips into egg product; place in bag of Bisquick mixture. Seal bag; shake to coat. Place chicken on cookie sheet. Drizzle vegetable oil spread over chicken.

Bake 12-14 minutes, turning halfway through, until no longer pink in the center.

What I did differently from the recipe:
This was supposed to be a "heart healthy" recipe. Instead of using the "egg product" I used one egg. It was just enough for the 1.5 pounds of chicken I was making. Also, I read the recipe wrong in the first place. Instead of using vegetable oil spread, I just read vegetable oil!! Fortunately I totally forgot about that step when making the recipe. No worse for wear!

What I'll do differently next time:
Same, although I might actually try drizzling some butter over them like the recipe suggested.

Verdict:
Thumbs up!! We have a tried-and-true chicken tenders recipe that I've used for four years now. You should have seen the look on Stephen's face when I said I wanted to try a new recipe. Not surprisingly, he liked this one! It is much faster and not as greasy as the other version, but still not quite as good. Definitely a keeper and much healthier if you're worried about that.
