Oatmeal-Crusted Chicken Tenders - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0.
Place oats in a food processor, and process for 20 seconds or until coarsely ground. Add cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine, and place in a shallow bowl.

Place tenders on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450\u00b0 for 15 minutes or until browned.
