Crispy Baked Cereal Chicken
This recipe creates a crispy baked chicken dinner. Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves are coated in a seasoned crumb mixture made from crushed crispy rice cereal squares. The chicken is first dipped in a blend of egg and milk, then coated in the crumbs before baking in the oven. The result is a golden brown, crunchy exterior with tender, juicy chicken inside, all ready in under an hour. It's a simple and satisfying main course for a family meal.
Ingredients
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1.5 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 egg
- 1.5 cups milk
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Method
- Set your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Put the cereal into a large resealable plastic bag and crush it into fine crumbs. Mix in the garlic salt and seasoned salt by shaking the bag. Transfer this crumb blend to a shallow bowl.
- In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg together with the milk. Take each chicken breast half and first dip it into the milk mixture, then press it into the crumb mixture to coat thoroughly. Arrange the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the chicken in your preheated oven for about 40 minutes. It is ready when the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is cooked through with no pink in the centre, and the juices run clear. You can check with an instant-read thermometer. it should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
