Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

  • ½ cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned

  • ½ cup wheat germ

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Trim any fat from chicken and cut into 1-inch cubes.

  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the water and add the chicken.

  4. Combine the parsley, thyme, red pepper, bread crumbs, wheat germ, basil and pepper. Stir in the oil with a fork and mix well to distribute evenly. Pour seasoning mixture into a resealable plastic bag and toss the chicken pieces to coat.
