CORNFLAKE CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS
Cornflake Crusted Chicken Tenders
Sometimes New Food simply means a new twist on an old favorite. Over the years we have often made breaded chicken breasts, but lately we have dropped that in interest of reducing our calories. Grilled chicken breast works for most things, but there are times when you still want a bit of crunch with your chicken. Enter an old-fashioned way of making a crunchy coating for food -- good, old-fashioned, cornflake.
Of course, this doesn't mean you can dress things up a bit. The original recipe I found via Pinterest used a mixture of egg, honey and mustard to stick the cornflakes to the chicken. My wife isn't a big mustard fan, though, and I am constantly watching calories, so instead I added some different flavors, using Creole Seasoning mix and some black pepper added to the cornflakes. This gave a great taste to the chicken and reminded us that this would be worth making again.
