Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cornflakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cornflakes into a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, combine the crushed cornflakes and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly and add the mustard, beating until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb and cornflake mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Crunchy Chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
