Ingredients

1 cup regular oats

3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pound chicken breast tenders

Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Place oats in a food processor, and process for 20 seconds or until coarsely ground. Add cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine, and place in a shallow bowl.

Place each chicken breast tender between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Coat both sides of tenders with cooking spray; dredge tenders in oat mixture. Place tenders on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until browned.
