Best Baked Popcorn Chicken

How To Prepare
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Either spray a large baking sheet with non-fat cooking spray or use your Silicone Baking Mats.

In a shallow bowl, combine the egg whites and Dijon mustard. In another shallow bowl or pie plate, place the potato flour and mix in no salt added seasoning.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into approximately 1-inch cubes. Add the chicken cubes to the egg white mixture, tossing to coat well. Then toss and roll the chicken cubes in the flour, a few at a time, to thoroughly coat with the bread crumbs.

Popcorn Chicken Ready To Bake. Transfer the breaded chicken cubes to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them close together, but not touching. When all the chicken cubes are on the baking sheet, lightly spray them with the cooking spray. NOTE: This is the key to the oven-frying technique, as the misting of oil helps get a perfect golden crunch.

Bake for a total of approximately 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken cubes). Half way through the baking process, turn over the chicken cubes with a spatula or tongs. Continue baking until golden brown or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife). NOTE: You do not want to overcook these chicken cubes or they will be dry. Remove chicken from heat.

Remove from oven and place the chicken on individual serving plates or on a large platter. Serve plain or with your family’s favorite low or no sodium dipping sauce. If you are trying to lose weight, be careful what you serve as a dip.

Serve immediately.

Oven-Fried Fish Chips

How To Prepare
Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set a wire rack on another large baking sheet; coat with cooking spray.

Place potatoes in a colander. Thoroughly rinse with cold water, then pat dry completely with paper towels. Toss the potatoes, oil and 3/4 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning in a large bowl. Spread on the baking sheet without the rack. Bake on the lower oven rack, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.

Place flour and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasonings in a shallow dish and egg whites in a second shallow dish. Dredge fish in the flour mixture, dip it in egg white. Place on the prepared wire rack. Coat both sides of the breaded fish with cooking spray.

Bake the fish on the upper oven rack until opaque in the center and the breading is golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
