Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts or fish fillets
- 2 cups Corn flakes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the corn flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, combine the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the milk to create an egg wash.
Step 5
Pat the chicken breasts or fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken or fish into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.
Step 7
Press the chicken or fish into the crushed corn flakes, making sure all sides are evenly coated. Gently press the crumbs into the surface to adhere well.
Step 8
Place the coated pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Step 9
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle a small amount of oil to help the coating crisp up.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and fish should flake easily with a fork.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
