lucy's chicken cheese sticks

casein exists in all mammal milk from humans to  platypuses; lucy is allergic (or intolerant) to cow casein.  the recipe that follows includes sheep milk cheese, tolerated well by lucy, but may not be so for others with a casein allergy/intolerance.

ingredients:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 egg beaten with a little water
1/2 cup glutino bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
s & p
garlic powder
1T olive oil

method:
heat oven to 375 degrees
heat olive oil in a medium size pan over medium high heat
cut chicken breast into bite size pieces or tenders depending on the likes of the eater :)
mix egg, water, s &p, and garlic powder in one bowl and mix bread crumbs and cheese in another
coat each piece of chicken with the egg wash then dredge in the bread crumb mix
shake off excess and place in the pan
cook for about 2 minutes on each side
use a cookie sheet with a grate so any excess oil will drain in the oven
cook in the oven about 12 minutes depending on the size of the bites.

last night i made these for lucy and fried a few in the pan for her to eat for dinner then fried the rest and immediately froze them; just put them on a plate and place in freezer until frozen then bag them.  cook in oven when ready to use.
