Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 cups corn flakes
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the corn flakes into a resealable plastic bag. Crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands, then transfer the crumbs into a shallow dish or bowl.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended.
Take each chicken breast and coat it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, coating it completely.
Transfer the chicken to the crushed corn flakes and press the crumbs onto all sides until the chicken is fully coated.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle each piece lightly with the honey-butter mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes for a delicious meal!
