Servings 4
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1½ cups wholemeal flour
- 1 cup wholemeal bread crumbs
- ½ cup cornflake crumbs
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp olive oil spray
- 20 grams parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200℃/ 180℃ fan forced oven/ 390℉.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine the cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs and grated parmesan into a bowl.
- Place the eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk them.
- Place the flour into a bowl.
- Slice the raw chicken breast into strips (approximately the size of a tenderloin).
- Firstly, coat the chicken in the flour. Then dip the chicken into the egg, before covering it in the crumb mix.
- Press down on the chicken so that the crumb has full coverage and adheres to the chicken.
- Spray the baking paper with olive oil spray, and then transfer the chicken strips onto the oven tray. Spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes (a little longer if the pieces are larger). Remove from the oven and serve.
