Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups crispy rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
1 egg
1 ½ cups milk
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
  • Place the cereal in a large plastic zipper bag and crush the cereal into crumbs. Add the garlic salt and seasoned salt; shake the mixture together in the bag to combine. Pour the cereal crumb mixture out into a shallow bowl.
  • In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk mixture, then into the crumb mixture, coating the chicken well with crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups brown sugar and butter flavored crispy corn and oat breakfast cereal (such as Cap'n Crunch®)
¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce
1 pound chicken tenders
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Crush cereal in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Place crushed cereal in a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk flour, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and Buffalo wing sauce together in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Gently press a chicken tender into the flour mixture to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into crushed cereal. Gently toss between your hands so any crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place coated chicken tenders in a single layer on a plate while coating the rest; do not stack. Repeat for remaining chicken tenders.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook each chicken tender in hot oil, turning once, until cooked though and golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.
