Triple Terrific Caesar Chicken Fingers

Chicken fingers are far from boring when dipped in garlicky dressing and coated with the tasty three-some of Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs. You can switch up your salad dressing or even use barbecue sauce to get your crumbs to cling. A spoonful of flaxseeds in place of sesame seeds will boost the omega factor.
