Baked Fried Chicken


For those of you who like fried chicken but don't want to call it that, I've got a little answer for ya.  Butter, batter, and oil?  Check.  But not like you would imagine: I used these 3 simple ingredients - garlic herb butter, one egg (that happened to be free range...Food Snob Alert!!), and cornmeal.  I simply whipped those ingredients together with a little salt and pepper and onion powder, and then dipped each of the chicken breasts in the mixture.  I placed the chicken in a pre-olive oiled baking pan and popped it in the oven for about 35 minutes at 375 degrees.

Voila!  A deliciously coated, crispy, but altogether not heavy, "fried" (but more baked) chicken.  The leftovers reheated nicely, just with a softer surface.  Reheated, it was like chicken with cornbread crumbles.  And what, pray tell, could be wrong with that??
