Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c butter, melted
1 tsp garlic salt
1 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
4 tsp granulated garlic
2 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
2 c sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 c French's french fried onions, crushed
1 c Panko bread crumbs
1 c crispy rice cereal
6 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
4 Tbsp butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13x9x2" baking dish with 1/2 cup of melted butter.
  • 2. Sprinkle garlic salt on chicken breast and set aside.
  • 3. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. In a second bowl, beat together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, mix the cheese, bread crumbs, fried onions, and cereal. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then press in the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
  • 4. Arrange the chicken (do not overcrowd) in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle 4 tablespoons melted butter evenly over chicken. (My family loves extra crunchies, so I make sure to add some of the leftover bread crumbs between the chicken before adding the butter.)
  • 5. Bake 35-45 minutes or until coating is golden brown and chicken juices run clear.

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Dredge the chicken breasts in flour. This will help the breading to stick to the chicken.
  • Dip the chicken breasts in the egg mixture. This will help the breading to adhere to the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken breasts in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the bread crumbs into the chicken so that they are evenly coated.
  • Bake the chicken breasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through. You can also fry the chicken breasts in a pan over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
