Servings: 6 pieces
Calories: 151kcal
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts - sliced in half to make two thinner chicken "cutlets"
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 3 cup cornflakes - crushed
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a cooling rack over/inside a large baking pan and set aside. (Cooking on top of a cooling rack allows for all sides of the cornflake coating to get crispy)
- Pat the chicken dry using paper towels, then season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Whisk the eggs and buttermilk in a large shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, stir the cornflakes and Italian seasoning.
- Dip the chicken pieces, one at a time, first in the egg mixture and then in the cornflakes.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit as measured by a digital meat thermometer. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Cooking times may vary depending on how thick your chicken is.
