Dijon-Parmesan Chicken Breasts
While nearly two-thirds of people in the U.S. believe they eat enough healthy whole grain in their diet, the reality is that just 5 percent of Americans get the three full daily servings (at least 48 grams) recommended by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
That was the finding of a General Mills study to better understand U.S. attitudes around whole grain and the gap between the amount of whole grain Americans should be eating and what they are consuming.
Since 2005, General Mills has been guaranteeing that every Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving. Today, General Mills Big G cereals are America’s No. 1 source of whole grain at breakfast, making it easier for consumers to get the whole grain they want.
Using a cereal, like Fiber One®, can help to add fiber to your dinner meal too. Our easy recipe for Dijon-Parmesan Chicken Breasts is a good source of fiber with 5 g of dietary fiber per serving.
To make this recipe, simply mix crushed Fiber One® cereal with some grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil leaves, garlic salt and pepper in a bowl. In another bowl, combine an egg white and some Dijon mustard. Then, just dip chicken breasts into the egg white mixture and then into the cereal mixture. Bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes.
I used boned, skinned chicken thighs for Jack, which he prefers to chicken breasts. And for Blake (who came to the cabin with us over the weekend), I cut a chicken breast in cubes and made some healthy (non fried) "chicken nuggets."
