Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts (Cut thin into strips)
- 2 cups Brown Rice Crispy Cereal
- 2 Eggs
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar
- ½ cup Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup Whole Fat Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 ½ tablespoon Chives
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (finely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon dried Thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 x 12 baking dish with tin foil. Place your cereal in a plastic zip lock bag and crush it with a rolling pin until it has the consistency of bread crumbs. Put cereal in a large mixing bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic, parsley, and thyme. Stir with your fingers until all ingredients are blended. Transfer dry mixture to a pan, which will help you properly coat the chicken. Beat eggs in a bowl. Dip each piece of chicken into egg mixture then dip into dry ingredients. Lay chicken coated chicken strips on foil-lined pan and cook in oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. To make the Greek yogurt dressing, combine non and full-fat Greek yogurts, Cayenne pepper, black pepper, sea salt, and chives. Hold back 2 tablespoons of chives to use as garnish. Add cilantro, vinegar, and lime juice and stir until combined. Serves 4Nutrition Information

00:00:07.601 --> 00:00:13.001
Today we're gonna be making baked chicken
strips with Greek yogurt.
3
00:00:13.001 --> 00:00:15.445
Welcome to Gluten Free Tasty,
4
00:00:15.445 --> 00:00:20.521
I'm Charlie, this is your healthy
alternative to fried food.
5
00:00:20.521 --> 00:00:21.901
It's simple.
6
00:00:21.901 --> 00:00:25.530
Now, to get started I like to start with
the crumble.
7
00:00:25.530 --> 00:00:29.210
You get your cereal and you put it inside
the bag.
8
00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:36.550
That way, all of your product is kept
inside and not all over the table.
9
00:00:36.550 --> 00:00:42.130
Now this is very therapeutic you can just
smash it up, you see there.
10
00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:45.770
Roll it around as well.
11
00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:52.090
All right, once you've got it all nice and
crumbed up, get a large mixing bowl.
12
00:00:52.090 --> 00:00:56.290
Place the cereal in there.
13
00:00:56.290 --> 00:00:57.270
Voila.
14
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:59.110
[MUSIC]
15
00:00:59.110 --> 00:01:02.950
Then add your parmesan cheese and your
seasonings.
16
00:01:02.950 --> 00:01:07.780
We're using the salt, a little black
pepper,
17
00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:12.870
garlic, finely chopped parsley, and
paprika.
18
00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:17.510
Then you add your parmesan cheese.
19
00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:20.790
In there.
20
00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:23.030
And don't be afraid to use your fingers.
21
00:01:23.030 --> 00:01:27.130
Everyone wants to use this utensil, or
this cutlery, or this spoon, or this fork.
22
00:01:27.130 --> 00:01:29.690
Get your fingers in there, get dirty,
right?
23
00:01:29.690 --> 00:01:32.490
And then we add our thyme.
24
00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:35.250
So you mix it up in the bowl.
25
00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:41.350
And then what I do is I place it into a
pan because that way, when you slice
26
00:01:41.350 --> 00:01:47.470
up the chicken, each slice of the chicken
is gonna be coated properly.
27
00:01:47.470 --> 00:01:49.570
Then you whisk up your eggs.
28
00:01:49.570 --> 00:01:52.030
Nice and easy.
29
00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:54.970
Then we'll move on to our chicken.
30
00:01:54.970 --> 00:01:57.410
The chicken has to be sliced thinly.
31
00:01:57.410 --> 00:02:00.030
The thinner the slices the quicker the
time.
32
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:03.350
And what you do you slice your chicken
with the grain.
33
00:02:03.350 --> 00:02:06.155
So when you look at your chicken you can
see it's got little,
34
00:02:06.155 --> 00:02:08.410
little grains on there and you go with the
grain.
35
00:02:08.410 --> 00:02:11.930
If you go against the grain what happens
is.
36
00:02:11.930 --> 00:02:16.130
Is your chicken becomes tough, because
you're going against the grain.
37
00:02:16.130 --> 00:02:20.210
So if you look at it really closely,
you've got little grains on there.
38
00:02:20.210 --> 00:02:25.390
And as you can see, I'm slicing it left
handed.
39
00:02:25.390 --> 00:02:26.250
There you go.
40
00:02:26.250 --> 00:02:30.590
[MUSIC]
41
00:02:30.590 --> 00:02:35.810
So what I tend to do is, I put my chicken
into the egg.
42
00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:39.850
[MUSIC]
43
00:02:39.850 --> 00:02:41.579
Put it all in there and
44
00:02:41.579 --> 00:02:46.590
really make sure that each strip is really
coated in that egg.
45
00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:52.945
Shake off the excess of the egg and place
it in to the crumble,
46
00:02:52.945 --> 00:02:57.810
and then we're ready [SOUND] to make the
magic.
47
00:02:57.810 --> 00:03:01.050
That's getting nicely coated.
48
00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:03.310
Now, you shake it off.
49
00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:05.550
So there you go.
50
00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:08.170
Talking about meat, you can do this with
fish.
51
00:03:08.170 --> 00:03:10.370
Fish is a viable alternative.
52
00:03:10.370 --> 00:03:12.304
And for that person who says, oh,
53
00:03:12.304 --> 00:03:15.790
I don't eat meat, I don't eat fish, that
annoying person.
54
00:03:15.790 --> 00:03:19.910
Who says turn the AC down they're freezing
cold.
55
00:03:19.910 --> 00:03:21.950
I'm not surprised cuz they don't eat
nothing.
56
00:03:21.950 --> 00:03:25.650
What you can do, you can do this with
vegetables.
57
00:03:25.650 --> 00:03:27.090
So there you have it.
58
00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:29.470
There's your strips ready to go.
59
00:03:29.470 --> 00:03:34.250
Pop it in the oven, and when we come back
they'll be nice and golden brown.
60
00:03:34.250 --> 00:03:38.130
We're gonna be doing the Greek yogurt
dressing, one of my favorites.
61
00:03:38.130 --> 00:03:42.490
You got your fat-free, and you got your
low-cal, as well.
62
00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:46.910
Kenyan pepper, the black pepper, and the
sea salt.
63
00:03:46.910 --> 00:03:49.210
What I'm adding in here are the chives.
64
00:03:49.210 --> 00:03:53.279
Why I do I hold some back because, what
you can do at the end, when you're put it
65
00:03:53.279 --> 00:03:56.870
in the bowl, is, put it as a garnish on
the top, so it had to be agave.
66
00:03:56.870 --> 00:03:58.750
Then you had the cilantro.
67
00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:03.230
Then we add our vinegar, and we have our
lime juice as well.
68
00:04:03.230 --> 00:04:04.510
You get your bowl.
69
00:04:04.510 --> 00:04:06.630
A nice wooden bowl.
70
00:04:06.630 --> 00:04:08.350
Hey what's that sound?
71
00:04:08.350 --> 00:04:10.370
It must be the time for the chicken.
72
00:04:10.370 --> 00:04:13.610
Let's go and check and see if it's ready.
73
00:04:13.610 --> 00:04:14.930
Lovely chicken.
74
00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:16.850
See it's nice and golden brown like I
said.
75
00:04:16.850 --> 00:04:26.370
[MUSIC]
76
00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:31.471
Mm, like I said you can really feel the
kick of the cayenne pepper, and
77
00:04:31.471 --> 00:04:34.770
the vinegar and the lime marrying
together.
78
00:04:34.770 --> 00:04:37.550
Gluten free and tasty.
79
00:04:37.550 --> 00:04:41.090
My name is Charlie, thank you for watching
HealthiNation, have a good day.
