Recipe: Fiber-ific Fried Chicken Strips

These were so yummy to make!  And really super good.  Actually, I still have chicken strips left over.  Good enough for a salad for dinner tonight! woohoo! :)

6 oz raw skinless boneless lean chicken breast, cut into 8 strips
1/2 c Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1/4 c fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/4 tsp garlic salt
Black pepper, to taste (I also used paprika, cumin, garlic powder as I didn't use garlic salt or regular salt, and about 3 dashes of cayenne pepper)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency.  Add garlic salt and black pepper to crumbs.  Place crumbs in one small dish and egg substitute in another.
Next, coat raw chicken--first w/ egg and then w/ crumbs.  Place strips on a baking pan sprayed w/ nonstick spray.  Add a light mist of nonstick spray on top and place in the oven.
Cook for 10 minutes and then turn strips over.  Spritz w/ another light mist of nonstick spray and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and crumb coating looks crispy.  Enjoy!

Note: I did it for 12 minutes on each side 'cause I wasn't sure how done they'd be...worked out perfectly!
