Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a shallow baking pan with water/oil mixture. Place crackers, basil and pepper in a large zipper-topped plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to finely crush the crackers. Cut the chicken into 16 tenderloin strips, about 1 x 3” each; add a few at a time to the cracker mixture, seal the bag and shake to coat. Place coated chicken strips on prepared baking pan. Bake, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through.

SERVING SUGGESTION: A big bowl of coleslaw (use a ready-made mix and toss with low fat mayo and a little rice vinegar). Add corn on the cob.
