No-Nonsense Chicken Nuggets

10/5/2004

3 cups corn flakes

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Pinch of pepper

1 pound skinless, boneless

chicken breast halves, cut into

nugget-size pieces

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil or coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Place corn flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush to a fine texture using a rolling pin or the bottom of a small saucepan, or place in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Combine with the Parmesan cheese, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a medium bowl.

To bread the chicken, coat in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the egg, then coat well in the corn flake mixture. Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and cook until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings
