of Nonstick Cooking Spray
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.Remove skin, if any, from chicken pieces. If working with large chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise for faster cooking time. Trim any excess fat.

4.In a second medium bowl, mix flour, salt, and black pepper.
5.In a third medium bowl, add eggs and milk. Beat with a fork.
6.Dip each chicken piece into flour, then egg mixture, then cornflakes. Each piece should be fully coated with flakes.

8.Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Storage Tips
- Store leftover chicken in air-tight container. Use within three days or use leftover chicken in chicken noodle soup or a chicken casserole.
Chef's Tips
- For extra flavor, add ½ to 1 teaspoon of spices, such as paprika, chili powder, dried thyme, rosemary, or oregano, to salt and pepper to season chicken.
- If using bone-in chicken, adjust cooking time to 35–40 minutes. Be sure it still reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F. If cornflake crust starts browning too much before chicken is fully cooked, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
