Make mouthwatering and flavorful Cornflake Chicken at home with just a few simple ingredients. This crispy, oven-baked chicken is coated in seasoned cornflake crumbs for a golden, crunchy finish that’s sure to please even the pickiest eaters.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 5 cups cornflakes
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Crush the cornflakes into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Add dried parsley and thyme, mix well, and transfer to a plate or shallow dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Then whisk in flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Transfer chicken to the cornflake mixture and press to coat thoroughly on all sides. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over the tops of the chicken for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, let rest a few minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding garlic powder or paprika to the cornflake mixture.
- Use a food thermometer to ensure chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, green beans, or a side salad.
