So I actually made this a few weeks ago, but forgot to take final pictures. Ooops! So much to Matt’s pleasure, I made them again. This time I actually remember to take pictures after they were baked. This recipe is from my mom. We loved this as kids. It is a healthier version fried chicken and tastes pretty delicious with some barbecue sauce.
1. These come together really quickly. You need 4-5 chicken breasts, 1/2c. yellow corn meal, 1/2c. flour, 1 1/2t. salt, 1/2t. oregano, 1/4t. pepper, 3t. chili powder, milk, and nonstick oven spray (preferably in butter flavor) or 8T. melted butter. Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces (about 2 inches in size).
2. Mix the corn meal, flour, salt, oregano, pepper, and chili powder in a large ziploc bag.
3. Soak the chicken pieces in a bowl of milk. Place them in a bag and shake them until coated.
4. Place them in a greased 9×13 pan.
5. Once all the pieces are coated and in a pan, spray with a butter flavored nonstick spray or melt 8T. butter and drizzle over top.
6. Bake at 375F for 35-40 minutes and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce!
