Crunchy Chicken Bake

The Elders asked for this recipe, so I thought I'd pass it along! It's a yummy twist on oven-baked fried chicken.

2/3 cup cornflake crumbs
1 T all-purpose flour
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 onion powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground coriander
4 skinless boneless chicken-breast halves

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

2. Combine the cornflake crumbs, flour, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and coriander in a large ziplock bag. Spray the chicken lightly with nonstick spray and place 1 piece in the bag. Shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly; then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken breats.

3. Bake until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 40-45 minutes.

Serves 4 (or more for us, because the kids don't each much..)

I usually serve it with "favorite"/"funeral" potatoes and salad, but the cookbook I found it in also said it would be good sliced in a mixed-green tossed salad.
