A healthy alternative to fried chicken

I'm making this for dinner tonight. It's a favorite around here and it's SOOO easy. It's crunchy and salty like fried chicken but doesn't have nearly as many trans. fats, cholesterol and calories. Since it's made with Goldfish crackers, my kids devour it..

you'll need:

6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut length wise into chicken finger style strips
about 4 or 5 cups Goldfish crackers, smashed up into crumbs
ranch dressing, and you can use a lowfat variety too, it doesn't change the flavor


- preheat oven to 425

- pour some ranch dressing into a shallow bowl, and do the same with the Goldfish crumbs in a second bowl

- line a baking pan with tin foil, and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray

- Dip the uncooked chicken into the ranch dressing, letting the excess drip off, then into the Goldfish crumbs

- arrange on prepared baking pan

- bake for 10 to 15 mins (this is what the recipe says, but mine always cook faster...more like 7-9 mins...so keep an eye on them) or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees internal temp)

- ALL DONE!! wasn't that easy?? Tonight I'm making rice pilaf and a green salad for sides..but I've also served this with homemade Spanish rice and that was a yummy combination!!
