Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs, or pulse them in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly, and shake off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated in the liquid.
Press the chicken breast into the crushed Rice Krispies, coating it evenly and pressing gently to adhere the cereal to the surface.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them.
Lightly drizzle olive oil or spray a thin layer of cooking spray over the top of the chicken for extra crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes or dipping sauces. Enjoy!
