How to make healthy baked chicken fillets

Whisk together the wet ingredients

Begin by whisking the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Use a whisk or fork to mix them together to a smooth consistency. This step is crucial to achieve a moist base that will adhere properly to the chicken fillets, providing the moisture needed during the cooking process.

Mix the flour and spices

In a separate bowl, combine the flours and spices. It is advisable to use a whisk to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed in the flour mixture. Next, add a few tablespoons of milk and use a fork to integrate them, creating a crumb-like texture. This mixture will be the crunchy coating that will flavour the chicken.

Dip the fillets

Dip each chicken fillet into the flour mixture first, making sure to coat both sides. Then dip them in the egg mixture, making sure they are well coated. Finally, dip them back into the flour mixture so that the coating is generous and even. Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminium foil. Alternatively, place them on a wire rack in the pan, making sure to spray them with a little non-stick spray.

Spray and bake

Spray the chicken fillets with non-stick cooking spray. This step will help the coating to crisp up during baking. Then bake the fillets at 200 degrees Celsius for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. The time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so check the internal doneness to make sure they are well done.

Salt and serve

Prepare a delicious sauce, such as the suggested honey mustard sauce, to enhance the flavour of the chicken fillets. You can serve the sauce on the side or pour it over the fillets before serving - enjoy these healthy, crispy and delicious chicken fillets!
