This is one of my favourite ways to have chicken. It's deliciously crispy and reminds me of fried chicken, but of course it's much healthier since it is baked.
Cornflake Crusted Chicken
chicken breasts
1 c cornflakes, crushed
1 T cayenne pepper (or less if you don't like that much kick)
1 t paprika (optional)
1 T olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg or butter
Set oven to 350 F (170 C). In medium bowl or rimmed plate, mix cornflakes with cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir and then add olive oil, stirring again. In another bowl melt butter or scramble one egg. Dip chicken breast in butter or egg followed by the cornflake mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on baking sheet and bake 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 170 F.
