Baked Popcorn Chicken

No idea where this came from - it's something I printed from Word.



Ingredients:
2 large egg whites
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups Panko
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions:
Heat the oven to 450. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, mustard, and salt. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, spread the panko.

Add the chicken pieces to the egg white mixture and toss to coat. A few pieces at a time, transfer the chicken to the breadcrumbs and toss to thoroughly coat. Transfer the breaded chicken pieces to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them close together but not touching. Spritz lightly with cooking spray.

Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.

Comments:
I used one whole egg and added some "Kick'n Chicken" seasoning to the breadcrumbs (not Panko. Plain, homemade breadcrumbs.) Turned out pretty well, I'd say. We ate them all up. I like that kind of night - we're not so great at using up leftovers most of the time. And everything is better with McCain Smiles, right?
