FLAX SEED CHICKEN FINGERS

These chicken fingers are a hit with both students AND staff!
INGREDIENTS
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 1/2 cup unprocessed bran
• 1/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders (about 16)
• Barbecue sauce, for serving (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, combine wheat germ, bran, breadcrumbs, flax seed, Parmesan, onion and garlic powders, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; pulse to combine. Add oil; pulse to combine. Transfer crumb mixture to a large bowl.

2. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Dip chicken in eggs (allowing excess to drip off), then dredge in crumb mixture, patting to adhere. Place on rack, and transfer to oven.

Land Acknowledgment

The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
