I'm looking for suggestions:

I used to take and pound out a chicken breast and lightly flour it and "fry" it in olive oil (or whatever I had on hand)

I need a healthier version of this. I also need to get rid of the flour but want a crust to it.

Thanks!

    I coat the chicken in egg whites, then roll in Parmesan cheese and "fry" in about 1 Tbs. coconut oil. Crispy and delicious

    You could bread the chicken, only bake it instead of frying. Its not as yummy, but at least its not fried!

    Fresh would probably be better, but I can be lazy and this has more f a breading consistency than shredding

    I dip the chicken in italian dressing (or egg whites sometimes) and then roll it in the crumbs, and fry with Pam spray. But like someone mentioned above, baking would be a good idea too.

    Dip in egg whites + milk and roll in steel cut oats that I pulse in the blender until they are approximately bread crumb consistency. Bake and toss with Frank's Hot Buffalo = win.

    The trick to baking chicken/fish/ anything that you want as crispy as frying is to put a cooling rack on top of a cookie pan, and then put whatever you are cooking on top of the cooling rack. Bake at a high heat (usually 425). This way the air circulates underneath and gets everything evenly crispy on all sides. I usually cook fish for about 15 min....chicken for 20-25. Also, if you use panko breading, those are great too as they are the crispiest with the least amount of calories!
