The first thing you will like hearing about the toaster oven, is the convenience. For a family on the go it is the perfect appliance to have. It will allow you to prepare delicious and healthy meals in one half the time it would take in a full oven. You will be able to make crispy sandwiches, bake a casserole, cook a roast, or bake all your favorite desserts right on your countertop.
The economy of the toaster oven is another great benefit. Because the toaster oven is more compact than the full oven, you are not heating as much space. The result is a faster heating time and less energy used. Resulting in time saving and also energy saving.
Toaster ovens range in power and in cost. A low wattage oven would be around 1200 watts and could be purchased for approximately $70.00. Toaster ovens can be purchased with as much as 1800 watts.
The toaster oven can be purchased in styles and colors to match your kitchen décor. The oven is available in a black or silver color, and, of course, stainless steel.

Baked Chicken
Baked Chicken is one healthy way to enjoy chicken without all the excess fat that comes from frying. Then if you realize you can enjoy baked chicken right from your toaster oven it makes preparing dinner a breeze.
The ingredients you will need to prepare Toaster Oven Baked Chicken include:
• 1 family pack skinless chicken without bones
• Wheat germ
• Garlic salt
• Chives
• Non-stick cooking spray
Turn on your toaster oven to 350º Fahrenheit so it will be ready to bake after you have the chicken prepared. Run chicken under cold water to remove anything left by packaging. Pat dry completely and put onto the toaster oven tray. Spray with the cooking spray and roll the pieces of chicken in the wheat germ until evenly coated. Sprinkle next with garlic and chives evenly. Give another squirt of Pam just to coat the chicken a tad. Now toss into the toaster oven and bake until you can stick a fork into it and juices run clear. Usually about 35-40 min. Toss a salad to have with it and enjoy. You now have a meal for four people.
