Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup reduced-fat baking mix
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds chicken breast strips

Preparation

1. 1. Melt butter in a 15- x 10-inch jelly-roll pan in a 425° oven.
2. 2. Place baking mix and next 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; shake well to combine. Add chicken, several pieces at a time, shaking well to coat. Arrange chicken in melted butter in hot baking dish.
3. 3. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until chicken is done, turning once. Serve immediately.
4. Note: To freeze, place uncooked, coated chicken strips on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, place strips in a zip-top plastic freezer bag, and freeze until ready to prepare. Bake frozen strips on a hot buttered jelly-roll pan (according to previous directions) at 425° for 35 minutes, turning after 25 minutes. For testing purposes only, we used Bisquick Heart Smart mix.
