This is our favorite...

Oven-Fried Cinnamon Chicken

2-3 lbs chicken, cut up (or 4 B/S breasts)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 egg
2 TBS milk
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 TBS vegetable oil

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, turmeric and black pepper, set aside. Beat egg and milk. Coat chicken pieces with flour mixture, then add breadcrumbs to remaining flour mixture. Dip chicken pieces into eggs, then coat with crumbs. Arrange in roasting pan. Sprinkle with oil, then bake until crisp and brown, about 40 minutes.
******
Note: I have omitted the oil and sprayed the chicken with cooking spray and still had wonderful results! I also sometimes substitute 'Panko' for the breadcrumbs, which makes the chicken crispier. Panko is a Japanese breading that is available in most supermarkets in the Asian section, or in Asian markets It comes in pretty big chunks, and I just crush it with a rolling pin to make it more crumby! Hope you like this one! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Have been making this one for years. I usually add some cornmeal to the bread crumbs and also add italian seasoning. You can substitute white wine for the sherry.

ElinorC,
If you have the recipe for the potatoes parmigiana that is a suggested side dish, would you mind posting it? Sounds like a great combination. I am making oven chicken tomorrow night using your recipe. Thanks!

ElinorC, I tried your chicken recipe yesterday. It is also very good. It is a very easy, quick dish to make on a weeknight. We will be making it again sometime. My DH could not believe it was lowfat! Thanks for posting the potatoes parmigiana recipe. Will be trying it soon!

Deb,
Glad you liked the chicken. We'll be having it this weekend too.
