Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted – divided)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 3 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Place ¼ cup butter in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish or shallow roasting pan. (I placed the butter un-melted in the casserole dish to melt the butter while the oven was preheating)
  3. In a shallow dish whisk the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together until well combined. (A pie dish works well for this)

  9. Roll each chicken breast in the flour until lightly coated, dip the chicken breast in the egg mixture, and then roll in the cheese mixture pressing firmly coat. Arrange each chicken breast on the bottom of the baking dish, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
