Parmesan Chicken Strips
Source: 24 Hour Fitness Recipe of the Day

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup reduced calorie egg substitute (I use 1 egg white)
2/3 cup reduced fat breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (I use 2/3 cup)
1 1/4 teaspoons dried basil
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Combine milk and egg substitute in a shallow bowl and set aside. Combine breadcrumbs and next 5 ingredients in a shallow bowl and mix well. Dip chicken strips into milk mixture, then dredge through breadcrumb mixture coating on all sides.

Place chicken strips on a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center.
