Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1.5 cups gluten-free cornflakes
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and then lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, crushed gluten-free cornflakes, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it's completely coated.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it down gently on both sides so that the breadcrumb mixture adheres well to the chicken.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops of the chicken with olive oil to help them crisp up nicely during baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help keep the chicken juicy.
Step 9
Serve the gluten-free crunchy chicken with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
