Skinny Shake(Low Calorie-Like Shake And Bake)
A flavorful, low-calorie shake and bake mixture perfect for coating chicken, combining breadcrumbs with savory seasonings for a crispy, healthier alternative to traditional breading.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put bread crumbs in a deep bowl and stir in vegetable oil with a fork until evenly distributed.
- Add salt, paprika, celery salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
- Use immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to bake chicken.
Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat bread crumbs or gluten-free alternatives. If you want to reduce the oil content, try using a spray bottle to lightly coat the crumbs instead. Adding dried herbs like oregano or thyme can enhance the flavor profile. You can also substitute the vegetable oil with olive oil for a richer taste.
Serving Suggestions
This Skinny Shake is perfect for coating chicken before baking, giving it a crispy texture without the extra calories. Serve it alongside a fresh salad, like Shelby'S Orange Salad, or with some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It also works well as a crunchy topping for casseroles or baked dishes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Skinny Shake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to use, simply give it a good stir to re-emulsify the ingredients. This mixture can also be frozen for longer storage, but it's best used fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
