Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan with cooking spray.

  2. On waxed paper, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, cornmeal, and ground red pepper. In pie plate, beat egg white and salt.

  3. Dip each piece of chicken in egg-white mixture, then coat with crumb mixture, pressing firmly so mixture adheres. Arrange chicken in prepared pan; lightly coat chicken with cooking spray.

  4. Bake chicken until coating is crisp and golden brown and juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced with tip of knife, about 35 minutes. Makes 4 main-dish servings. Nutritional information is based on one serving.
