Sesame-Coated Chicken Fingers

After having homemade baked chicken fingers you’ll wonder why you ever ate those deep-fried ones with all the fat and calories. Dip these in some honey or plum sauce.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

2. Cut the chicken into strips about 6 inches long and 1 inch wide.

3. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper and place in a shallow bowl. Whisk together the egg and milk in another bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in another bowl.

4. Dip the chicken strips in the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture, then the breadcrumb mixture. Place the strips on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray and bake for about 10 minutes, until just cooked.
