Recipe: Chicken Ala Rice Krispies
Description:
Moist and tender chicken with a nice soft buttery coated breading on the outside. I serve this with a side of chicken flavored rice or noodles and vegetable. My husband first flinched when I told him about the Rice Krispies coating, but loved it when he tried it; you would never know it was cereal coated!
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | boneless chicken breasts |
| 1 1/2 | cups flour |
| 2 | teaspoons salt |
| 1/2 | teaspoon poultry seasoning |
| 1/4 | cup butter |
| 1/4 | cup margarine |
| For coating mixture: | |
| 3 cups | Rice Krispies cereal crumbs |
| 1 | teaspoon pepper |
| 1 | teaspoon garlic powder |
Instructions:
-
In one bowl, mix cereal crumbs, pepper, garlic powder, salt, poultry seasoning, and flour. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
-
Place the butter in another bowl and melt it.
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, coating it thoroughly.
-
Then, coat the chicken breasts with the cereal mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.
-
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
-
Place the coated chicken breasts into the greased baking dish.
-
Drizzle the remaining melted butter on top of the chicken breasts. If you prefer extra breading, coat the chicken with the remaining cereal mixture.
-
Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
-
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve your Chicken Ala Rice Krispies hot, with your choice of side dishes like chicken flavored rice or noodles and vegetables.
