Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 6 pieces
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 4 cups cornflakes
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and placing an oven-safe wire rack over it.
- Prepare your chicken by cutting each breast in half so you have 6 equal pieces, set aside.
- Whisk the eggs and milk in a medium shallow bowl, and set aside.
- In a large plastic bag, add your cornflakes, paprika, garlic, onion, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Use a rolling pin to crush the cornflakes and shake until everything has come together into a coarse crumb mixture. Pour the cornflake crumbs out into a large plate.
- Dip your chicken into the egg mixture to coat, remove and coat generously in the cornflake crumbs, completely covering the chicken.
- Place the breaded chicken onto the prepared wire rack and pan, repeat with all your chicken cuts.
- Once all the chicken is breaded, spray them each with cooking oil and place in the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
