Oven-fried chicken and tomato

2 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ pounds Skinless boneless chicken breasts
½ cup Buttermilk or skim milk
Several drops hot pepper sauce
¼ cup Finely ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon Dried thyme
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 Tomatoes
Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Low-fat "fried" chicken bakes to crispy comfort food. The chicken bakes in a hot oven. Dipping it in buttermilk keeps the coating light. Hot pepper sauce brings out the full taste of the chicken and allows each person to adjust the degree of heat.

1. Adjust oven rack to highest position.

2. Preheat oven to 425F degrees.

3. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place in oven to warm.

4. Pound chicken flat with the bottom of a saucepan or the palm of your hand to ¼ inch thick.

5. Place buttermilk and hot pepper sauce in small bowl; add chicken.

6. In another bowl, combine cornmeal, thyme and Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Remove chicken from buttermilk; roll in cornmeal mixture to coat.

7. Cut tomatoes in half; season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Remove baking sheet from oven; coat with olive oil spray. Place chicken and tomatoes on baking sheet; spray them with oil.

9. Bake for 10 minutes or until chicken is done.

Yield: 2 servings.
