Cornflake Encrusted Oven "Fried" Chicken


This recipe was inspired by a recipe in the Food Network Magazine, but I changed it to suit my tastes....it really came out great, the chicken was so moist from the yogurt and the coating was so crispy! KFC look out ( : I served this with roasted asparagus and leftover quinoa. Warning: I was just throwing this together so the measurements for most of the ingredients are approximate.

Cornflake Encrusted Oven "Fried" Chicken

Cooking Spray
3 large handfuls of Cornflakes (about 2 and1/2 C), crushed slightly
2 C plain bagel chips, processed in food processor
cayenne pepper to taste (I did a few shakes)
3 tsp EVOO (approx, I just drizzled it on until it looked right)
sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1 and 1/2 C plain low fat greek yogurt (2%)
1 tsp dijon mustard
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Mix bagel chip crumbs and slightly crushed cornflakes (just crush them with your hands), cayenne, EVOO, salt and pepper in shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix yogurt and dijon mustard and whisk together.

Coat chicken breasts with yogurt mixture and then coat with cornflake mixture (there should be a lot of cornflake mixture, pack it on), and transfer to 9 X 13 baking dish lined with nonstick foil. When done I put the remaining cornflake mixture over top of the chicken. Spray with cooking spray and Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes.

This sounds great- I have made oven fried chicken with crushed barbecue potato chips that are yummy as well.
