Oats make a good coating for savory foods, and offer a good way to add extra fibre.
ingredients
serves 4
3 tbsp skimmed milk
2 tsp English mustard
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 tbsp chopped sage leaves
8 chicken thighs or drumsticks, skinned
1/2 cup low fat fromage frais

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Mix together the milk and English mustard.
2. Mix the oats with 2 tbsp of the sage and the seasoning on a plate. Brush the chicken with the milk and press into the oats to coat evenly.
3. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear, not pink, when pierced through the thickest part,
4. Meanwhile, mix together the low fat fromage frais, mustard, remaining sage and seasoning, then serve with the chicken. Garnish the chicken with fresh sage and serve hot or cold.

If fresh sage is not available, choose another fresh herb such as thyme or parsley, instead of using a dried alternative.
