Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the corn flakes into a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin. Pour the crushed corn flakes into a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, add the flour.
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Take one chicken breast and coat it in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Finally, press the chicken breast into the crushed corn flakes, patting gently to adhere the crumbs to all sides. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process for the remaining chicken breasts.
Dot the top of each coated chicken breast with a small amount of butter to help the crust brown and crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
