Serve with: Carrot, broccoli and rutabaga sticks. Crushed melba toasts make an especially crisp coating for chicken fingers. Sweet potatoes are a healthful change from regular potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 16 melba toasts
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 minced cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Preparation

Sweet Potato Oven Fries: Cut each potato into about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick slices. Cut each slice lengthwise into about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick strips; place in large bowl. Add oil, garlic, sage, salt and pepper; toss to coat well. Spread on large rimmed baking sheet; bake in 425°F (220°C) oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in food processor or using plastic bag and rolling pin, crush melba toasts until in fine crumbs; transfer to shallow dish. Cut chicken lengthwise into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick strips; set aside.

In bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper; add chicken and stir to coat. Add chicken to crumb mixture and turn to coat. Arrange on separate greased rimmed baking sheet.

Turn fries. Add coated chicken to oven; bake for 10 minutes. Turn chicken; bake until chicken is golden and no longer pink inside and potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

Additional information :

Tip: You can freeze the baked chicken fingers: let cool, then freeze between layers of waxed paper in airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Reheat, frozen, in 425°F (220°C) oven for about 15 minutes.
