Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken tenderloins or breasts
1 1/2 cups corn flake cereal
3 tablespoons whole wheat or all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 large egg
2 tablespoons low-fat milk
Non-stick spray
Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, and utensils.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Remove skin, if any, from chicken pieces. If working with large chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise for faster cooking time. Trim any excess fat.
- Crush corn flakes in a zip-close bag. Pour into medium bowl.
- In a second medium bowl mix flour, salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
- In a third medium bowl, add eggs and milk. Whisk with a fork.
- Dip each chicken piece into flour mixture, then egg mixture, then corn flakes. Each piece should be fully coated with flakes.
- Place chicken pieces on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced. Spray pieces lightly with non-stick spray.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until chicken is crispy, and has reached internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Tips
- Spice it up! Add more seasonings to the flour such as Chili powder, cayenne pepper or Italian seasoning.
- Make this a whole meal by adding a vegetable side such as Celebrate Your Plate Oven-Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges or Celebrate Your Plate Oven-Roasted Carrot Fries.
