This Baked Parmesan-Crusted Chicken recipe features a cheesy, crispy coating of panko and cornflakes that'll keep you coming back for more.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut in half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup corn flakes
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390°F.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Lightly crush 1 cup of corn flakes in a bowl.
- Mix the crushed corn flakes with the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley flakes, turmeric, paprika and ground mustard.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk.
- Dip the chicken on both sides in flour, then shake off a little of the excess flour.
- Dip the chicken in a beaten egg.
- Dip the chicken in the crumb mixture. Press the crumbs so that they stick to the chicken.
- Place a cooling rack in a tray, then place the chicken on the rack. Bake for 30 minutes.
Notes
- Let the chicken rest after baking so that the juices redistribute and the residual heat finishes off the chicken.
- Get organized before you start the dipping. Have your three bowls of flour, egg, and the crust mixture laid out to make your assembly line run smoothly.
- Taste the coating mixture before applying it to the chicken to make sure you approve of the flavor balance. Change accordingly.
