Dijon Almond Chicken Food

DIJON, SALTINE AND WHEAT GERM CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS WITH RANCH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken breasts on the diagonal into wide flat strips and season with salt, to taste. In a large bowl, combine the Dijon and the yogurt, toss in the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
• Pulse, pulse, pulse the crackers in a food processor until they look like fine crumbs. Add the wheat germ and toasted almonds and pulse until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put this mixture into a wide flat dish. Roll the marinated chicken in this mixture, 1 piece at a time, pressing the cracker/wheat germ mixture to evenly crust each piece. Lay the prepared chicken onto a sheet tray fitted with a rack. Baking the chicken on a rack will allow the air to circulate around the chicken to cook it evenly and make it crispy.
• Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through but not dry, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the Dipping Sauce.
• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
• Dip the chicken fingers in this and say yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmyy!
