Hi Everyone and Happy Tuesday to you!

I've received another diabetic recipe from a group member that I'd like to share. I've crushed tortilla chips and used in place of bread crumbs in hamburgers in the past. They are tasty when first cooked but hubby said they changed the taste of the burgers when reheating. This recipe sounds yummy and I hope to try it soon. Thanks Jenn! Enjoy!


Tortilla-Crusted Chicken

nonstick cooking spray
1 c finely crushed tortilla chips
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb total)
salsa (optional)

Coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. In a shallow dish combine tortilla chips, oregano, cumin, and pepper. Place egg in another shallow dish; beat slightly. Dip chicken in beaten egg and coat with tortilla chip mixture. Arrange chicken in the prepared baking pan. Bake in a 375 degree oven about 25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees). If desired, serve the chicken with salsa.
