Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds Chicken Boneless pieces
  • 3 cups Cornflakes Cereal
  • ⅓ cup Flour Whole wheat
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Eggs Large
  • ¼ cup Milk Non-fat
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 3 Medium Bowls
  • Baking Sheet
  • Food Thermometer

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • 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.
  • In a medium bowl, crush cornflakes.
  • In a second medium bowl, mix flour, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a third medium bowl, add eggs and milk. Beat with a fork.
  • Dip each chicken piece into flour, then egg mixture, then cornflakes. Each piece should be fully coated with flakes.
  • Coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken pieces on sheet, evenly spaced. Spray pieces lightly with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add ½ to 1 teaspoon of spices, such as paprika, chili powder, dried thyme, rosemary, or oregano, to salt and pepper to season chicken.
  • For lowest price, use a whole chicken and cut into parts.
  • To crush cornflakes easily, place in bowl and crush using the bottom of a measuring cup. Or, place in a large zip-top plastic bag and crush using your fists or the bottom of a measuring cup.
  • If using bone-in chicken, adjust cooking time to 35-40 minutes. Be sure it still reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F. If cornflake crust starts browning too much before chicken is fully cooked, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Serve with a colorful vegetable or fruit side dish.
