Cheerio Chicken
Barbara and Aviva Goldfarb
This delicious breaded chicken recipe is a great health alternative to fried chicken.
Ingredients
8 to 12 pieces of chicken (legs and thighs work very well)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 to 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
Teriyaki sauce, optional
Breading: make 2 to 3 cups of breading by grinding a mixture of the following in your food processor, blender or by hand:
Italian-style bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese
Honey Nut Cheerios
Regular Cheerios, optional
Quaker Oats, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix yogurt and mustard together in a shallow bowl. Make breading and place in shallow bowl. Wash and remove skin of chicken pieces.
Coat each piece with yogurt mixture, then dip thoroughly in the breading.Lay on oven sheet coated with aluminum foil. Bake chicken for 25 to 35 minutes, turning once.
Suggestions
For a crisper finish, sprinkle some teriyaki sauce on the chicken, then broil for the final five minutes.
