Ingredients:
- 1 cup (85g) “Kellogg’s” cornflake crumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (50g)
- 1 lb (453g) chicken tenders
For dipping: marinara sauce, Ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce (macros not included)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or foil. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix the cornflake crumbs with the garlic powder and salt in a shallow bowl or dish.
- Beat the egg in another shallow bowl or dish.
- Dip each chicken tender in the beaten egg and then press into the cornflake mixture, turning to coat as evenly as possible. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat for all of the chicken tenders. You should use almost all of the egg and crumbs (discard any that remain.)
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, marinara, or Ranch (macros not included.)
Notes:
- You can make your own Corn Flake crumbs by blending 3 cups of Corn Flakes in a food processor until you have the texture of coarse breadcrumbs.
