“Almost” Fried Chicken
Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) and Zola To Go! recipe.
Looking for ideas for a picnic? How about Fried Chicken (or almost fried) and tangy coleslaw? Big YUM!
Servings: Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 6 boneless chicken breast halves, skinless*
- melba toast pieces ground to crumbs (or 3 Tbl of dried bread crumbs from the container)
- 2 egg whites beaten with a fork
- garlic powder, celery salt, black pepper and Italian seasoning to taste.
- olive oil spray
Instructions:
Put your cleaned and dried chicken pieces on a work surface. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with olive oil spray. Put your egg whites in a blow and beat with a fork to break them up.
Sprinkle the spices across the top side of each piece of chicken. It won’t take a lot but you are doing it by taste. Dip your breast in the egg and then roll it in the crumbs. Place them on the cookie sheet. Allow each piece to have plenty of breathing room around it (at least an inch). The air space will allow the chicken to get crispier.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken pieces with the olive oil spray. Just a spritz. This makes it crispier. Bake 20 – 25 minutes at 400 degrees. The chicken is done when there’s no pink in the middle. Cut a slit to check in the thickest one if you are not certain it’s done.
This chicken is easily transportable for Zola To GO! And it tastes good cold too! Don’t forget to pair it up with my tangy coleslaw.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
