--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     2/3  c             bread crumbs
   3      tbsp          cornmeal
   3      tbsp          grated parmesan cheese
   1      tsp           dried basil
   1      tsp           dried oregano
     3/4  tsp           garlic powder
     1/2  tsp           ground thyme
     1/2  tsp           onion powder
     1/4  tsp           cayenne pepper
   1 1/4  lb            boneless skinless chicken breast halves
   1                    egg white
                        

                        Tangy Dipping Sauce:
     3/4  c             apricot jam
   2      tbsp          white vinegar
   1 1/2  tsp           prepared mustard

In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, cornmeal, cheese, basil, oregano, 
garlic powder, thyme, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.  Mix well and set 
aside.

Cut chicken breasts into 3/4 x 3-inch strips.  Place strips in a medium 
bowl.  Beat egg white lightly iwth a fork and pour over chicken.  Toss to 
coat chicken with egg white.

Roll chicken strips, one at a time, in crumb mixture.  Make sure chicken 
is well coated with crumbs.  Place on a non-stick baking sheet.  Bake for 
15-20 minutes at 450°, until chicken is golden brown and no longer pink 
inside.  Check for "doneness" after 15 minutes.  If overcooked, the 
chicken will be dry.

While chicken is baking, prepare dipping sauce.  Combine jam, vinegar, and 
mustard in a small saucepan.  Cook oer medium-high heat until jam is 
melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes.  Serve chicken fingers with warm 
dipping sauce.
