Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 1/2 cups corn flake cereal
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 3 tsp. paprika
  • 3 tsp. onion powder
  • 3 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper

Spicy Maple Syrup

  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Set a wire rack over a large baking sheet.
  • In a food processor, pulse cornflakes and spices until well combined and pieces of cornflakes resemble coarse sand. Pour the cornflake mixture into a shallow bowl.
  • Pour flour into a second shallow bowl and the beaten eggs into a third shallow bowl.
  • Slice the chicken breasts thinly. Dredge chicken breasts in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs. Double coat them by dredging again in eggs, then breadcrumbs.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts on top of the wire rack. Coat with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Bake 20-22 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • To make the spicy maple syrup, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over baked chicken.
