Dr Oz was joined by the Deen Brothers – Jamie Deen and Bobby Deen, authors of The Deen Bros. Take It Easy: Quick and Affordable Meals the Whole Family Will Love,  who held the Deen Brother’s Search for the Unhealthiest Cook in America.  Doctor Oz and the Deen Brothers chose Vita, who is the queen of fried foods.  Jamie Deen and Bobby Deen gave Vita the following Un-Fried Chicken Recipe that tastes like fried chicken, but without all of the extra calories and fat.

Dr Oz Un-Fried Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

8 skinless boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of all visible fat (about 1 1/2 lbs)

1/2 tsp Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp ground black pepper, 1/8 tsp garlic powder)

1/4 cup light mayonnaise

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

1 egg white

1/2 tsp hot sauce

1 1/4 cups cornflake crumbs

Deen Brothers Un-Fried Chicken Recipe

Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

2.  Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray.

3.  Place your pieces of chicken into a ziploc bag.

4.  Mix together the house seasoning, mayonnaise, lemon zest, juice, hot sauce and egg whites.

5.  Toss the marinate into the ziploc bag of chicken and shake it around to coat all of the pieces of chicken well.

6.  Pour the cornflake crumbs into a bowl.

7.  Dip each piece of chicken into the cornflake crumbs.

8.  Place the pieces of chicken onto your pan covered in nonstick spray.

9.  Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes or until it is golden brown and cooked all the way through.

As a side note – I have done something similar with Fiber One Cereal crushed up instead of corn flakes, and it tasted great, plus my family got the added benefit of some extra fiber!
