How to Make Crunchy Paprika Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a pie plate, whisk together 1/2 cup paprika, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate pie plate, crush 3 cups of cornflakes into crumbs.
  4. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Dip each chicken breast strip (cut into 1-inch wide strips) into the paprika mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Then, dip the coated chicken strips into the melted butter, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Finally, coat the chicken strips thoroughly in the crushed cornflakes.
  8. Arrange the chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each strip to ensure even cooking.
  9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
