How to Make Chicken Ala Rice Krispies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 3 cups crushed Rice Krispies cereal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter.
  4. Dip each chicken breast (about 4, 6-ounce breasts) into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the buttered chicken breasts in the Rice Krispies mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
  6. Place the breaded chicken breasts in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the chicken.
  8. Sprinkle with extra Rice Krispies mixture if desired for extra crispy goodness.
  9. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite side of chicken-flavored rice or noodles and vegetables.
