Crispy Chicken

Crispy Ranch Chicken

Made: March 26, 2012

Ingredients:
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
- 10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 400 F
- Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray
- Pour the cereal into a large ziplock bag and seal tightly
- Roll over the bag with a rolling pin until the cereal is crushed
- Combine the cereal, Paresan and salad dressing mix in a shallow bowl
- Dip the chicken in the egg whites
- Coat evenly with the cereal mixture
- Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between each one
- Top each piece of chicken with a pat of the butter to aid in browning
- bake for 25-30 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the middle the meat reads 180 F (or until no longer pink)

I didn't use chicken thighs (even though thighs and legs are my choice of chicken), I used 4 chicken breasts for my family. It came out just the same, only I had to cook my chicken for 35 minutes to have the centers no longer pink. But I see myself making this again :)
