Ingredients
Baked Cornflake Crusted Chicken
  • 1 pound chicken breasts cut into cubes or strips
  • 3 cups cornflakes
  • 1 egg beaten
  • salt, pepper, Optional: fresh thyme
Maple Dijon Sauce
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp mayo or light mayo
  • Optional: a bit of horseradish sauce if you like a little kick
Instructions
  1. Pulse the cornflakes in a food processor with a few sprinkles of salt and pepper, feel free to add any other seasonings of your choice. Put in a gallon size baggie.

  2. Put the chicken in a bowl and add a beaten egg and a few sprinkles of salt and pepper (hot sauce is a good addition here as well)

  3. Put the egg coated chicken into the bag of breadcrumbs and toss to coat. Put the chicken on a baking sheet, using one hand to press the crumbs into the chicken. Repeat until all the chicken is breaded. (Tip: I try to use the wet hand, dry hand method when breading anything. Keep one hand clean and the other hand to do the breading)

  4. Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes (no need to flip)
  5. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or whisk together the ingredients above for the Maple Dijon sauce. Optional: sprinkle with fresh thyme.
