Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts or fish fillets
- 2 cups Corn flakes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the corn flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, combine the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the milk to create an egg wash.
Pat the chicken breasts or fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken or fish into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.
Press the chicken or fish into the crushed corn flakes, making sure all sides are evenly coated. Gently press the crumbs into the surface to adhere well.
Place the coated pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle a small amount of oil to help the coating crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and fish should flake easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
