Serving6
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups corn flakes
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch of pepper
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- Put corn flakes in large plastic bag and crush into fine crumbs. Pour crumbs into medium-sized bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to corn flakes and mix until combined.
- Place beaten eggs in a separate small bowl.
- Place flour in a separate small bowl.
- To bread chicken, coat chicken pieces in flour (shaking off excess), dip in egg and coat in corn flake mixture.
- Arrange breaded chicken nuggets on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Notes
To freeze these chicken nuggets, prepare as outlined in the recipe.
- Let the chicken nuggets cool and then place them in a single layer on a wire rack and place them in the freezer for 1 hour – this will keep the chicken nuggets from all sticking together when you place them in a bag in the freezer and pull out a couple for a quick lunch. If you don’t mind them all sticking together, you can skip this step.
