Easy Recipe: Bisquick Chicken Fingers Recipes

I had a wonderful time at the General Mills Baking with Betty Crocker event and I learned some new recipes.  For families, its a cost saving method to purchase a product that has more than one functionality.  For example, Bisquick is commonly known for fluffy biscuits and pancakes, but its a base for a multitude of family friendly recipes. One box of Bisquick can be used to make either breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or dessert. An easy and fun recipe to make using Bisquick are the Ultimate Chicken Fingers.

Ingredients
2/3 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt or Garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Handful of coconut flakes (optional for added flavor)

Directions
1. Heat oven to 450ºF. Line cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray.
