How to Make Corn Flake Chicken Or Fish

  1. Pound chicken breasts (or fish fillets) to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  2. Cut the chicken or fish into finger-sized strips.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken or fish strip in the sour cream mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Crush 2 cups of corn flakes into coarse crumbs. Place in a shallow dish.
  6. Roll each coated strip in the crushed corn flakes, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  8. Arrange the coated chicken or fish strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (honey-mustard is recommended!).
  11. For freezing: Allow to cool completely, then place in freezer-safe bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  12. To reheat from frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
