Oatmeal Chicken

Oatmeal Chicken
Makes 2 Servings (can be doubled)
Preheat 375
Prep-time 10 minutes
Bake time 1 hour

2 large chicken breasts (completely defrosted if frozen)
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup flax seeds (whole)
3 egg whites, 1 whole egg
Tsp. Salt
Tsp. Pepper
Additional Seasonings: I try different seasonings everytime such as cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic, or paprika.

Put oatmeal and flax seeds in a blender and blend until well combined and almost the consistency of flour.  Put mixture into a large ziploc bag, add spices and shake.  In a large shallow dish mix 3 egg whites and 1 egg and coat the chicken.  Once chicken is coated in the egg place in bag with oatmeal and flax seed mixture and shake.  Place coated chicken in a glass baking dish and put in oven for 1 hour.  I turn the chicken over after a half an hour to ensure that both sides get brown and crispy.  Bake until it is white all the way through but still juicy.

I always make extra of this recipe because the chicken is great warmed over the next day either as your meal or even a protein filled snack.  I serve it with asparagus, but it goes great along side any vegetable.
