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.
