Description
Crispy Cornflake Chicken Tenders are a flavorful baked chicken recipe featuring tender chicken strips coated in seasoned crushed cornflakes. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds chicken tenderloins
- 4 cups cornflakes
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, then set it aside to prepare for baking.
- Place the chicken tenderloins on a plate and set them aside until ready to coat.
- Using a food processor, lightly pulse the cornflakes until they are crumbled but still have some texture.
- Transfer the crumbled cornflakes to a medium bowl and combine with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth and combined.
- Dip each chicken tenderloin first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge it in the seasoned cornflake mixture ensuring full coverage. Place each coated strip on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Once baked, sprinkle the chicken with chopped parsley and serve warm for a crispy and flavorful meal.
