Combine honey, mustard, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl; stir well.

Brush both sides of chicken with honey mixture; dredge in cornflake mixture.

Place chicken pieces on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

I served this with steamed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes.

I've beeen trying to cook healthier and started trying out many Cooking Light recipes. This recipe was inspired by another Cooking Light recipe, which I altered based on the ingredients I had on hand.
