- 1 cup oatmeal (run through a coffee grinder until finely ground)

Spices - 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, paprika, chili powder, thyme plus a pinch of sea salt and pepper. You can adjust the spices to taste.

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees

3) Coat chicken strips with egg and cover with the oatmeal/spice mixture

4) Place strips on a cooking sheet and cook 15-20 minutes until chicken is tender and coating is crispy
