WHEAT GERM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place oven rack in top third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Spray with non-stick cooking spray (I used avocado oil spray). Brush chicken with avocado oil. Sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper (if using), garlic powder, and paprika. Flip the chicken over and repeat. You may not use all of the avocado oil, just make sure to lightly brush both sides of each piece of chicken. If you are sensitive to the taste of salt, use only 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt in total. I prefer to salt my chicken well, so I use 1 teaspoon. Pour the wheat germ on a plate. Dip each side of the the chicken in the wheat germ and arrange on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the top third of the oven until the chicken is browned and the inside registers at least 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 17 to 20 minutes.

Form into balls on cookie sheet (ungreased, preferably with baking parchment) of whatever size you like and flatten to about half the ball thickness- use the typical criss-cross fork pattern if you like a traditional look. Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully to check degree of browning, and remove to racks for cooling.
