Ingredients

6 ounces raw skinless boneless lean chicken breast, cut into 8 strips

½ cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)

¼ cup fat-free liquid egg substitute

¼ teaspoon garlic salt

Black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add garlic salt and black pepper to crumbs. Place crumbs in one small dish and egg substitute in another.

Next, coat raw chicken—first with egg and then with crumbs. Place strips on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Add a light mist of nonstick spray on top and place in the oven.

Cook for 10 minutes and then turn strips over. Spritz with another light mist of nonstick spray and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and crumb coating looks crispy. Enjoy!

Secrets of Fiber-Frying!
The Fiber One Breadcrumb Breakdown

 

Master HG's recipes, and even create a few of your own . . .
Have some fun with these recipes by swapping out the egg substitute (which merely helps the crumb coating stick to the chicken) with things like hot sauce, barbecue sauce, or fat-free salad dressings. Your food will pick up some flavor but not a lot of calories!
Although you'll only actually use the amount called for in each recipe, it may be easier to dunk and thoroughly coat your food if you dole out a bit more egg substitute and Fiber One crumbs while preparing your dish.

You can add almost any dry spice to the crumbs for extra flavor in your crunchy coating. Some HG staples are salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. But feel free to experiment with cumin, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, lemon pepper seasoning, basil, and even taco seasoning mix (just not all at once!).
Love to fiber-fry but hate having to break out the blender each and every time? Just whip up a super-sized batch of Fiber One crumbs and store 'em in an airtight container. FYI, ¼ cup of the crumbs is equal to ½ cup of the cereal.
HG recipes featuring the Fiber One crumb coating generally taste best eaten hot out of the oven the day they're prepared. But if you wanna enjoy some leftovers the day after, do so by heating 'em briefly in the oven at a very high temperature. This way your crumb coating will stay crunchy!
