  • Here it is!

  • Oops, Kathy! I must have been looking for it while you were posting!
  • Cornmeal Crispy Chicken
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I use thighs)
    1 beaten egg
    3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
    1/4 tsp. lemon pepper (I didn't use this)
    1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
    1 tsp. garlic powder (I think I added more because we are garlic freaks!)
    dash salt
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I used regular and counted points)
    2 Tbsp. lemon juice

    Rinse and drain chicken and pat dry. Place chicken between two sheets of
    waxed paper and pound the chicken to 1/3" thick.

    Pour beaten egg in shallow bowl. In a shallow pan, combine cornmeal, lemon pepper, red pepper, garlic poder, salt, and cheese. Brush chicken with the lime juice, then dip in beaten egg and then coat with the cornmeal mixture. Let sit on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes.

    Spray George Foreman two sided grill with nonstick cooking spray. Cook
    chicken for 4-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked, brown and crisp. 4 servings.

    Here's another one you might like:

    Cola Chicken
    1 1/4 cups ketchup
    Dash Worcestershire sauce
    Dash white pepper
    Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
    1 can Diet Pepsi
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 Teaspoon of garlic powder or to taste
    Olive oil cooking spray

    Mix ketchup, Worcestershire and peppers. Add cola and mix well. Set aside.

    Dust chicken with garlic powder. Heat a nonstick skillet medium-high. I usually throw in 4 teaspoons of canola oil so I can get my good oil for the day. Brown chicken on both sides. Add cola mixture. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once. Remove cover; increase heat to medium and simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken when serving. Works great with boneless skinless thighs too.
  • That's okay, Vickie!
