Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
Place crushed cornflakes in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a third dish, beat eggs.
Pat chicken breasts dry. Dredge each piece in flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, and finally coat with crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere.
Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or brush with olive oil or melted butter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and coating is golden and crispy.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

For extra crunch, spray chicken with cooking spray before baking.
Serve with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a side salad.
Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven to retain crispiness.
