Meet the Cook: Since you can chop up all the ingredients the night before, this can be ready in about 30 minutes. So it's a great after-work dinner. You can also serve it as a snack or an appetizer...similar to chicken nuggets. I've even substituted quail for the chicken, and it was delicious.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded 1/4 inch thick
butter-flavored cooking spray
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Pour spaghetti sauce into a saucepan over low heat.
Whisk egg white and water together in a shallow bowl until evenly combined. Spread the flour out onto a plate. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Dip the chicken breasts into the flour, and shake off loose flour; dip them into the egg white, then gently press into the seasoned crumbs. Shake off loose crumbs; spray both side of the chicken breasts with the cooking spray. Lay the chicken breasts onto a nonstick baking sheet.
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese; return to oven and bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Serve topped with the hot spaghetti sauce.

Tips:

To ensure the chicken dippers are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken dippers. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
For a crispy coating, double-coat the chicken dippers in the flour mixture and egg wash.
Serve the chicken dippers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Chicken dippers are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different dipping sauce options, there is sure to be a combination that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken dippers a try.
