How to Make Crispy Mexican Chicken Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons melted vegetable oil spread, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Dip each chicken breast into the milk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Press the chicken breast into the cornflake mixture, coating it completely.
  7. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Lightly spray the chicken with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the crust is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
