Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425˚F.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the shake and bake mix except the oil in a gallon size zip top bag, or large container. Mix well. Add the oil and work the mixture until it is evenly distributed throughout.
  3. Place the raw chicken breast cutlets in the bag and shake until they are all coated in the mixture.
  4. Grease a large baking sheet and lay the chicken in a single layer leaving at least an inch between each cutlet.
  5. Bake on lower oven rack for 12-18 minutes or until the chicken is 165˚F internal temp.

Notes

  • Substitutions: This Homemade Shake and Bake mix can be used with any cut of chicken you want. The method will be the same, but the time will change depending on the cut of chicken you use.
  • Here is a guide for baking other cuts of chicken at 400˚F with the Shake and Bake:
  • *cook times are approximate. Chicken should always be cooked to 165˚F when done.
  • How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
  • How to Reheat: This can be reheated in the microwave in 30 second increments, or cover with tin foil and place into the oven to reheat.
  • How to Scale: One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be doubled or tripled with hardly any extra effort. Just portion out what you need to coat enough chicken for one meal and the rest of your homemade shake and bake breadcrumb mixture can be stored in the fridge. One batch is enough to coat about 2-3 pounds of chicken.
