I originally got this idea watching Aaron McCargo on the food network. Of course, his were fried and I am trying to watch my weight. After a few attempts, I have come up with this super easy baked version. I figured the nutrition facts for four servings including chips and it comes to about 295 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving (approximately 2.5 strips).

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup blue corn chips (crushed)
1/2 cup colby-monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (I use Penzey's Bold Taco Seasoning)
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon hot sauce (I use Cholula)
1 lb chicken breast tenders (or cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts)

Directions

1
Preheat oven 350.
2
In a food possessor, combine cheese, chips and taco seasoning.
3
Place in a shallow dish (a pie pan works nicely).
4
In another shallow dish, combine egg substitute and hot sauce.
5
One at a time, dip chicken strips in egg substitute mix (completely coat the chicken strip).
6
Then completely coat in chip mixture.
7
Place in a 13X9 pan coated with non stick spray.
8
Once all chicken strips are coated and in the pan, spray with more non stick spray (I use canola oil).
9
Back strips for about 30 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle.
