Breaded chicken

Ingredients:

Chicken

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of all visible fat (about 1.5 lbs.)
• 0.5 tsp. homemade seasoning, see recipe below
• 1/4 cup low-fat yogurt or kefir
• 0.5 tsp hot sauce
• 2 egg whites
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 and 1/4 cups crushed cornflakes

Homemade seasoning

• 1 tbsp. salt
• 1/4 cup garlic powder
• 1/4 cup black pepper

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a large cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
2. Sprinkle the chicken with the homemade seasoning. Combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, egg whites, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl and toss the chicken to coat it on all sides.
3. Place the crushed cornflakes in another large bowl. Roll the chicken in the crumbs, pressing firmly until they adhere, then place them in the skillet and bake in the oven.
4. Bake until chicken is cooked through and browned, or a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C), 40 to 45 minutes.
