Join me as I host Foodie Extravaganza today........

Foodie Extravaganza is a monthly celebration of Food Holidays.  Members of our group take turns researching, choosing and hosting different food holidays each month.  We all share recipes that feature the food on the first Wednesday every month. This month it was my turn to host.

January has many food holidays.  Candy, eggs, tea, meat, soup are included in the foods we celebrate this month.  January is also National Oatmeal Month. I decided to go with this as many of us are trying to eat a little healthier at this time of year after all the indulging we did over the holidays.

I was pretty excited when Santa brought me a Breville Smart Oven.  It does everything.  It bakes, it roasts, it is a dehydrator, an air fryer, a proofer, a toaster, a broiler and a pizza oven.  

I was anxious to try it out so I decided to use the oatmeal to coat chicken strips and use the air fryer function.  They turned out great.

I made them in the traditional dredging method.  First in seasoned flour, then in egg and lastly in oatmeal that was tossed with olive oil.

Quite a few strips fit onto the basket that came with the oven.  You can order additional baskets that can be used at the same time in the oven.  I used 3 boneless chicken breast halves for the strips and needed to do them in two batches as I don't have a second basket yet.  Each batch only takes 8 minutes so it's not a very large problem.

Making these chicken strips with heart healthy oatmeal and olive oil and then using the air fryer instead of deep frying them make this a perfect choice for starting off the New Year.

Oatmeal Crusted Chicken Strips (Air Fryer Recipe)

Tender Strips of Chicken, dredged in seasoned flour, egg, and oatmeal then air fried to a crispy, crunchy goodness. Dinner is on the table in less than 20 minutes.

prep time: 10 minscook time: 8 minstotal time: 18 mins

ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips

1 c. flour

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 t. thyme

1/2 t. oregano

2 eggs

2 T. water

2 c. oatmeal ( I used old fashioned oats)

1 T. olive oil

instructions

Combine the flour, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano in a shallow bowl.

Whisk the egg with the water in a second shallow bowl.

Place the oatmeal into a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.  Place in a third shallow bowl and knead in the olive oil until evenly distributed.

Dredge each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the oatmeal until completely coated.  Place onto the air fry basket of your smart oven in a single layer allowing space between pieces.

Turn the oven to the air fry setting and set the timer for 8 minutes.  When the oven signals that it is preheated place the tray of chicken inside and cook for the allotted time.  

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
