Oven Fried Chicken on the Food Network

For Mother's Day I asked for a cook book from Food Network. Here is the first (of many) recipe I used. It was a hit.

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups rice-crispy cereal,
• 2 1/4 cups broken bagel chips or melba toast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil cooking spray
• 1 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (plain)
• 5 thin boneless, skinless chicken pieces
• 1 bunch of scallions placed on top of chicken before cooking

• Directions

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Set a rack on a foil lined baking sheet. Spray the rack generously with cooking spray. (Forgot to do the rack part. This is a must as the underside will get mushy!!)

Finely grind the cereal and toasts together in a food processor. Transfer crumbs to a large gallon size plastic bag. Add the oil, salt, paprika, and ground pepper and toss to mix thoroughly. Whisk the yogurt and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl. Add chicken to mixture and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated. Place coated pieces on the prepared rack. Spray the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray, and bake until the coating crisps and browns and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pieces registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Sorry about lack of photo!! It looked so good we were almost done when I remembered.
