Shake and Bake Chicken Thighs With Parmesan Peas image

Crushed shredded-wheat cereal perked up with spices creates a super-crunchy coating reminiscent of the "Shake 'n Bake" of countless childhoods. Here, it works so well on boneless, skinless chicken thighs that you won't even miss the crispy skin. For a twist on the classic beloved side dish, buttered peas are showered with Parmesan cheese.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces unsweetened shredded-wheat cereal (about 3 cups), crushed
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (2 pounds)
6 ounces wide egg noodles (about 3 cups)
Unsalted butter, to taste
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound frozen peas
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Make the chicken: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Set a rack inside a large rimmed baking sheet. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the crushed cereal, granulated garlic and onion, salt, pepper and oil, and mix until well blended.
  • Add half the chicken to the bag and shake, pressing gently to help coating adhere; transfer to rack. Repeat with remaining chicken. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden, crisp and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cook egg noodles, according to package directions. Add butter and salt, to taste.
  • While the chicken and noodles cook, make the buttered peas: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the peas and season with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan. Serve the chicken with peas and noodles.
