Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 cups corn flakes
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0 nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Pour the corn flakes into a resealable plastic bag. Crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands, then transfer the crumbs into a shallow dish or bowl.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In another shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended.

Step 6

Take each chicken breast and coat it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Next, dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, coating it completely.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken to the crushed corn flakes and press the crumbs onto all sides until the chicken is fully coated.

Step 9

Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle each piece lightly with the honey-butter mixture.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes for a delicious meal!
