    I usually use chicken breast, put some low fat mayo on it (just a little to cover it) and some Panko Breadcrumbs with some seasoning. It tastes very good. Throw some cheese on it and you're good to go.

    That reminds me, need to post my low sodium chicken and jojo recipes.

    Anyway. 3 crushed up hint of salt (or other low sodium cracker/cereal) mixed with 1/2 tablespoon of flour per piece of chicken. Spices of your choice. Spray the chicken pieces with cooking spray. roll in mixture. Lightly spritz the tops with cooking spray and cook for 30 minutes on 350 degrees. Flip fifteen minutes through cooking time.

    My current favorite crispy chicken fix... I'm not overly concerned about sodium, so this ranks fairly low on the sodium scale for me, but feel free to omit the salt or adjust the seasonings to suit your preferences.

    1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut/pounded into 1/2" thick cutlets
    1/2 C Panko
    1/4 C (14g) French's french fried onions, crushed
    1/4 tsp EACH salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper
    1 tsp EACH basil, parsley, marjoram
    1/4 C egg beaters (or 2 egg whites)
    2 Tbs low-fat milk

    Mix panko, french fried onions & spices in shallow bowl. Beat egg beaters & milk in a separate bowl. Dip chicken, once piece at a time, into egg mixture, then press into panko mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray. Bake on wire rack set over baking tray at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes, turn chicken over and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or internal temp reaches 165 (I always use a meat thermometer...I hate dry chicken!)

    Makes 4 servings, each serving: Cal 182, Sat Fat 1g, Sodium 295mg, Protein 29g

    Quinoa flake chicken

    Bash some quinoa flakes in the food processor to make it fine. Dip chicken in buttermilk and then quinoa flakes. Place on baking tray and spray with a little olive oil. Bake at 220C for around 40-45 minutes.

    Google "perfect pan roasted chicken thighs". Ingredients are:

    skin on, bone in, chicken thighs
    canola oil - just enough to coat the pan (can be eliminated if you wait for chicken fat to render before trying to flip the thighs)
    salt (for seasoning only, can be eliminated or subbed)
    pepper (for seasoning only, can be eliminated or subbed)

    You're not going to get too much more low calorie than that, or more low sodium.

    If you pick a recipe with no skin, you'll have to add some kind of coating and oil to crisp up the chicken. Should be a calorie wash at best.

    Pre-heat oven to 350F.

    Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips (3-4 per breast)

    Stir together 1 tablespoon granulated garlic, a tablespoon of grated asiago or Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs (per breast) to a shallow dish.

    Roll the chicken in the crumb mixture, pressing down slightly to make it stick.

    Place chicken on a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

    Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Use tongs to flip chicken, spray this side lightly with cooking spray, then bake for another 10-12 minutes.

    Comes in just around 285-290 mg of sodium for 4oz (a whole breast).
