How to Make Crispy Rice Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. In a separate shallow bowl, crush 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper; mix well.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the chicken in the Rice Krispies mixture, pressing gently to adhere the cereal to all sides.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  8. (Optional) For freezing: Flash freeze the coated chicken on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bags for later use. Bake from frozen, adding 15-20 minutes to the cooking time.
