"NOT Chicken Parmesan"

I don't have photos from the chicken-coating process because my hands were full of goop and I didn't want to mess up the camera...sorry...I purposely called this "NOT Chicken Parmesan" when I served it.

Parmesan Chicken "Fingers" w/ Mushroom-Tomato Sauce

2 or 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1/4 c. buckwheat flour
salt and pepper
1/2 c. Parmesan
1/4 c. soy flour
2 T. Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran Hot Cereal
1 egg, beaten with 2 T. half and half

1. Heat oven to 350°. Spray a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan with non-stick cooking spray.
   
2. Place buckwheat flour, salt and pepper in a bowl; add chicken pieces (in batches, if necessary) and toss to coat lightly.
   
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg with the half and half.
   
4. In a wide, shallow dish, mix the Parmesan, soy flour, and oat bran cereal.
5. One at a time, dip the flour-coated chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then dredge in the Parmesan mixture to coat. Place chicken pieces on baking sheet; continue until you have all of your chicken coated.
   
6. Bake for 20 minutes until done. Smaller pieces will cook faster, so don't over-cook them.

Now...on to the pasta and the mushroom sauce...

1/2 lb. your favorite pasta
1 lb. fresh mushrooms (do NOT use canned!)
1/2 medium onion, coarse chop
1 T. butter
1 can diced tomatoes*
1 can tomato sauce*
generous sprinkling of garlic powder

1. Set your pasta water to boil. Add salt!!!
2. Saute the onion until translucent; add mushrooms and cook down.
3. Add diced tomatoes.
4. Add tomato sauce; allow to simmer while you finish with the pasta.
5. Serve pasta topped with sauce and the chicken fingers.
   

* I think it was a large can of diced tomatoes and a small can of tomato sauce, but I made this a while ago, didn't write anything down, and measured nothing. All of my ingredients are approximate measurements. Sorry, but that's just how I work. A lot of the time I'm better about making notes, but I think I was just in a hurry to get dinner done on this particular night, and I didn't take the time for too many photos or writing stuff down.
