By lindybug

3 chicken tenders = 5 pts

Ingredients

• 6 Tbsp yellow cornmeal
• 3 Tbsp pre-shredded Parmesan
• 1/2 tsp salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 large egg white
• 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
• Cooking spray
• Honey mustard or low fat ranch (not counted in points)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Combine cornmeal, cheese, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Place egg white in another shallow dish.

3. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/4 tsp salt; dip chicken tenders in egg white and then dredge in cornmeal mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Shake off excess. Place chicken on a wire rack and let stand 10 min. While chicken stands, place a jelly roll pan in oven to heat.
