I found a recipe in my TOH Dinner on a Dime Cookbook called "Oven-Fried Chicken" which mixes cornmeal and breadcrumbs (along with several other ingredients). Well it called for tarragon and ground ginger, both of which I did not have on hand. So I substituted some other spices and recreated this dish to fit our needs/taste/budget.
This is what it ended up looking like! Brian gave it 3 1/2 stars because he didn't like the extra crunch of the cornmeal. I, however LOVE crunch so I loved the cornmeal!! I gave this 4 stars! Brian also wishes I had more of one of my spices but we can't figure out which one he liked the best. : ) 1/2 C cornmeal
1/2 c dry bread crumbs
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper (to taste...I don't measure this ever!)
Combine above ingredients and put in a shallow bowl.
In another bowl combine 3 egg whites and 2 tbsp skim milk.

In a third bowl put 1/2 c flour (I used whole wheat).
Coat chicken (I used chicken breast tenders) in flour. Then dip in egg white mixture. Finally roll in cornmeal breadcrumb mix.
Place on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes (or until cooked through), turning once.
