Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

3 Enjoy Life® Original Bagels
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 whole boneless chicken breasts, cut in half (4 pieces total)

Instructions

Split bagels in half. Dry out bagels. Let them air out over night or heat in the oven. For the oven method, preheat oven to 200° F. Place bagels on cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until bagels are crunchy. Cool.
Increase oven temperature to 375° F.
Place the dried bagels in a food processor and blend into fine crumbs. If you prefer, some larger pieces can be left (about pea-size) for added texture.
Add seasonings to bagel crumbs. Mix in oil with fork until coated. Place the crumb mixture in a shallow pan or plate and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together water and tapioca starch.
Dip chicken into the liquid mixture, letting any extra drip off. Roll chicken in crumb mixture until coated.
Place coated chicken pieces in a shallow lightly greased pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear. The internal temperature should be a minimum of 165° F. Enjoy!

Notes

To ensure chicken breasts cook evenly, place the chicken on a piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle a little water over the chicken and cover with another sheet of plastic wrap. Pound the thicker portion of the breast until it becomes a uniform thickness.
