Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs, or pulse them in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 5

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly, and shake off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated in the liquid.

Step 7

Press the chicken breast into the crushed Rice Krispies, coating it evenly and pressing gently to adhere the cereal to the surface.

Step 8

Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them.

Step 9

Lightly drizzle olive oil or spray a thin layer of cooking spray over the top of the chicken for extra crispiness.

Step 10

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes or dipping sauces. Enjoy!
