Shake and Bake Fish Stix

These aren't quite as convenient as dumping a bag of frozen sticks out onto a baking sheet, but they are way better for you, tasty, and kid friendly. You can also do this exact same recipe but using bite sized pieces of chicken (and now you have chicken nuggets!)


Serving - 8 oz (1/3 recipe)
Calories: 243..........Carbs: 14..........Fiber: 1..........Fat: 7 ..........Protein: 35..........Sugar: 3..........Sodium: 835

Ingredients
24 oz Swai fillets
1 Cup Italian bread crumbs (you will only use about half)
1 egg

**You can also make homemade bread crumbs by toasting some low calorie bread and putting it through the food processor and adding spices. I also like to use Kashi Original cereal as bread crumbs (Kashi has a sweet taste just fyi)

Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees
1) Defrost fish in the sink in cool water, remove from packages and pat dry.

2) Slice fish into fish stick sized pieces



3) Beat 1 egg into a bowl, and add fish slices (traditionally you would only do a few pieces at a time...but I'm lazy, so I threw all the fish in the bowl and mixed until coated with egg...looks gross but fast.)



4) Pour 1 Cup of bread crumbs into quart size zip lock bag.

5) Put 3-4 pieces of fish into bag, and shake until coated.



6) Line baking sheet with parchment paper (will help prevent sticking), and put breaded pieces on the sheet.



7) Back for 10-15 minutes (I cooked mine about 5 minutes longer, plus a few minutes under the broiler to be very crispy)

Serve and Enjoy!

  1. These look great! What a god idea. I don't know swai - is there another fish you might use? Do you need something that holds together well like cod? Or will any fish do (like tilapia)?
