Oven-Crisped Parmesan Chicken with Cornflake Crust

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Coating Mixture:
In a large, shallow dish, combine the crushed cornflakes, cornmeal, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix in the garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of all ingredients.

3. Set Up Dredging Station:
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another dish, place the all-purpose flour.

4. Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.

5. Coat the Chicken:
Begin by dredging each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it is completely covered. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, press the chicken firmly into the cornflake mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Ensure the crust adheres well.

6. Bake the Chicken:
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

7. Rest and Serve:
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful chicken.
