You know when you are eating healthy, sometimes you just get a hankering for something “bad” like fried chicken. I love fried chicken, but I can’t make it to save my life. So, in my search for healthy and easy fried chicken, I have tried using crackers, breadcrumbs, and cereal – but nothing was as crispy as good old chicken fried in oil. Until now…
Crispy Oven Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless chicken tenderloins
- 1 box flavored stuffing mix i.e. sage, chicken, etc
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
- Put stuffing mix in a large zipper bag. Pound until cubes are crunched up into desired size.
- Place milk in one bowl and stuffing crumbs in second bowl.

- Season with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.

I love crispy fried chicken and the bad part is I CAN cook fried chicken. We don’t eat it a lot but THIS we can eat anytime I want it! I would have never thought to use stuffing mix! I use breadcrumbs and it just doesn’t compare to the real thing. I will definitely be pinning and trying this:)
Hopped over from Tickle My Tastebuds and so glad I did:)
