CHEERIO CHICKEN

Cheerio Chicken image

I did not have any extra bread/ crumbs or corn flakes, but wanted some fried chicken and cheerios sounded like it would work. I crushed them in a plastic bag and rolled a bowl over them. when I made them I used 2 eggs but that seemed to be to much and I had left over egg mix so I only put one on here if that isn't enough I would suggest a little milk to thin it out. when I made my dry cheerio mix I just tossed in spices these are just guesses. feel free to improve and change to your taste. Hope you have fun with it! (by the way It is really lemony but that is how I like my chicken if you don't like the lemon only use half of the lemon for it's juice)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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).
