Healthified Fare: Planet Hungrywood Sweet & Cap'n Crunchy Chicken

Served with fresh steamed broccoli and Market Day baby bakers

Ingredients

• 8 ounces raw boneless skinless chicken breast tenders
• 1/2c. Cap'n Crunch cereal (original)
• 1/4c. Fibers One bran cereal (original)
• 3Tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute 
• 2Tbsp. Hellemann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise
• 1/8tsp. onion powder
• 1/8tsp. garlic powder
• dash salt
• dash black pepper

Love the fact that this recipe relies on items that are pantry staples over here   (well, with the exception of the Cap'n Crunch cereal of course)

Directions:
Place Fiber One in a blender or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Set aside.

Put Cap'n Crunch in a sealable plastic bag and seal. Using a rolling pin or a can, coarsely crush cereal through the bag. In a wide bowl, combine Fiber One crumbs, crushed Cap'n Crunch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Place chicken tenders in a separate medium bowl. Cover chicken with egg substitute, and flip chicken to coat. Shake off any excess egg substitute, and then coat chicken in the cereal mixture.

Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Place coated chicken pieces gently into the pan, spacing them out as much as possible. Cook for 5 minutes, and then carefully flip pieces over. Cook for about 4 additional minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Combine the Dijonnaise and honey mustard in a small dish, and mix well for a tasty dipping sauce

Breading Mixture

I put the chicken pieces and egg substitute in a Reynold's Oven bag to make clean up super easy!

I used a 16" electric skillet to make tonight's dinner - I doubled the recipe in order to feed us all

Breading the chicken was a snap - I did it while holding Amelia!

Yummy dipping sauce

Delicious!

 I was super excited to try out one of my idol's recipes tonight.  I have been following Hungry Girl for years - before she was published let alone had her own t.v. show.  Needless to say, she didn't disappoint!
The recipe was super easy to make - I actually prepared the entire meal while holding Amelia in my arms!  The breading on the chicken is amazing; the combination of Fiber One and Cap'n Crunch sounds like an odd pairing, but in actuality is divine.  I also liked that it didn't taste grainy at all despite the fact that it had a high fiber cereal as an ingredient and was not fried.  The fact that I could have a generous portion, plus dip, for just 5 points plus was fantastic.  I added some fresh steamed broccoli and 3oz. of the baby bakers from Market Day and felt more than satisfied when I was done.
Both girls and Ms. Andrea gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up!

Seriously, this woman is a straight-up genius when it comes to tasty meals that fit into a weight loss plan.  This didn't taste "diet-y" at all
