"Unique" Ingredients...Oat Chicken with Sunshine Salsa

Brandon LOVED this meal.

Spicy Oat Crusted Chicken with Sunshine Salsa


Unique ingredient: Quaker quick oats (I know it's not really unique, but I wasn't quite sure what else to do with it.)
Ingredients for the salsa: 3/4 c. prepared salsa, 3/4 cup chopped orange sections

Mix salsa and orange. Refrigerate (at least 2 hours) until serving time.

Ingredients for the chicken: 2 tbsp. oil, 1 tbsp butter (melted), 2 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, salt, 1 1/2 cups Quaker quick oats (uncooked), 1 egg, water, chicken
Heat oven to 375.
In one dish, beat egg and water until frothy.
In second dish, stir together oil, butter, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and salt. Add oats, stirring until evenly moistened.
*I would not recommend using less oats because you aren't making a lot of chicken. You can reuse the mix (freeze it) or toss it if there is some that remains, but the oats absorb the spice and its still rather spicy.*
Dip chicken in egg, then in oat mixture. Bake 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and oat coating is golden brown.

Serve with Sunshine Salsa. *And maybe rice? It looks a little empty...*
