Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 3/4 cup corn flakes cereal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup sweet-and-sour sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°. Line jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch, with aluminum foil. Remove fat from chicken. Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces.
  • 2
    Place cereal, flour, salt, paprika and pepper in blender. Cover and blend on medium speed until cereal is reduced to crumbs; pour into bowl.
  • 3
    Place chicken and buttermilk in heavy-duty resealable plastic food-storage bag. Seal bag and let stand 5 minutes, turning once. Dip chicken into cereal mixture to coat. Place in pan. Spray chicken with cooking spray.
  • 4
    Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until crisp and chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve with barbecue sauce and sweet-and-sour sauce.

  • Fast food without the fat! You won't believe these tasty chicken bites are baked, not fried, in a cornflake crust. In addition to the two dipping sauces we suggest below, try honey or low-fat ranch dressing.
