This was tonight's dinner - Unfried Chicken Mexicano.
If I was being a good girl, I would've used all
Special K crumbs for the breading but I wasn't. I was
being naughty (had a baked potato too!!). I used 1/2
Special K crumbs and 1/2 bread crumbs. I sprinkled
ground chile molido on top of mine before baking. It
smelled heavenly and tasted wonderful. I used a mild
salsa in the dish but served it with a hot sauce.

Unfried Chicken Mexicano
Serves 2

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1-16 oz jar salsa, pureed a bit
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup Special K crumbs*
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano, crumbled
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground chile
corn oil spray

Place chicken pieces in a single layer in a glass
baking dish. Pour salsa over chicken, let marinate for
1-2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine bread crumbs,
Special K crumbs, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper,
oregano, and ground chile in a shallow pie pan; whisk
to blend. Remove chicken from the salsa, letting some
chunks remain on chicken. Dredge in bread crumb
mixture, on both sides. Place on a baking sheet that
has been covered with corn oil spray. 

Bake for 35 minutes until crispy, turning once in the
middle of baking.

Serve garnished with some more salsa, a dollop of sour
cream and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.

* If not a low carb person, use 2 cups bread crumbs.
You can use ground pork rinds too, if you wish.

Serves 4
