Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a shallow dish, combine the crushed Corn Flakes, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk, ensuring it’s well coated.
Press the buttermilk-coated chicken into the Corn Flake mixture, making sure it adheres well on both sides.
Place the crusted chicken steaks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Corn Flake crusted baked chicken steaks are a refreshing change from your regular breaded chicken, offering a crunch that’s truly unparalleled. To ensure even cooking, make sure your chicken breasts are of uniform thickness. You might consider using a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness before coating. This dish pairs splendidly with a light coleslaw or a tangy potato salad. And for those who can’t resist a dip, a honey-mustard or a BBQ sauce can elevate the taste to a whole new level. Enjoy!
