ingredients

4 Servings

900 g boneless, skinless chicken breast200 g plain cornflakes100 g all-purpose flour2 large eggs3 tbsp vegetable oil1 tsp salt0.5 tsp ground black pepper1 tbsp sweet paprika powder1 tsp garlic powder

Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Wash and pat dry the chicken breast, then cut it into approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) bites.

Breading

Prepare three deep plates: in the first, place the flour; in the second, the beaten eggs (with a pinch of salt); and in the third, the coarsely crushed cornflakes, previously mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Dredge the chicken bites first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the seasoned cornflakes, ensuring they are thoroughly coated on all sides.

Baking

Place the breaded chicken bites on the prepared baking tray, making sure they don't touch each other. Drizzle or spray them with a little vegetable oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through. Flip them once halfway through baking for even browning.

Serving

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve immediately. They pair excellently with a fresh salad, rice, french fries, or any dipping sauce.

Extra Tips

► For an even crispier result, spray the bites with a little oil spray before baking.

► Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or garlic sour cream.

► If you want to make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and cornflakes.
