Ingredients
  • 2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 egg
  • Optional: honey mustard
Instructions
  1. Put the cereal into a food processor, pulse until it looks like breadcrumbs. Put in a bowl.

  2. Cut chicken into thin strips or bite size nuggets. Season with kosher salt and pepper.

  3. Beat the egg in a bowl.

  4. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. (Use a wire baking rack over top of the baking sheet if you have one).

  5. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the cereal crumbs. Press the crumbs into the chicken and place on the baking sheet. Top with more cereal crumbs if some are leftover and sprinkle with more kosher salt and pepper.

  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees. Serve with honey mustard if desired.
