How to Make Cornflake Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Crush 3 cups cornflakes into coarse crumbs. (You can pulse them in a food processor for easier crushing)
  6. Press the cornflake crumbs onto the floured chicken breasts, ensuring complete coverage.
  7. Place the coated chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cornflakes are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
