inside: These Baked Cheesy Chicken Fingers are my kids favorite and an easy recipe.

Finding meals that my whole family likes can be tricky… I have one son who does not do cheese, and the other is picky about meat… Most of my meals have one or the other of those ingredients in them! I was thrilled when I tried this recipe and BOTH boys ate it! The cheese is crispy enough for my texture kid and the meat has a great crunchy coating for the picky meat eater… PLUS, the tasty and easy ranch dip made this meal a hit with my whole family. Do you have picky eaters?

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Horizon Organic Cheese
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 egg
• DIPPING SAUCE
• 1 cup love fat plain Horizon Organic yogurt
• 2 tsp ranch dip powder

Instructions

1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it. Heat oven to 400F. Mix the bread crumbs, cheeses and spices in a zip lock plastic bag. Shake to mix. Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and mix it up. Dip 3-4 chicken pieces into the egg, then put in the breading and shake the bag. Put the coated chicken on the baking sheet and continue until all the chicken is coated. I use spray oil to lightly spray the chicken before baking. This helps to crisp the coating. Bake for 15-20 min. until the the coating is light brown and the chicken is cooked when cut into. Mix the ranch powder into the yogurt and serve.
