Going through the pantry, I always like to find ingredients to make our meals complete. Not HUGE on cereal, I came across a box of Chex that I bought on a whim while I had the craving...needless to say, I still had a whole box!
Browsed through some recipes and came across this one for Corn Chex Chicken Breasts, courtesy of this Fab New Website I found. I had made something similar to this a little while ago using corn flakes, so thought this would work just as good.
Ingredients:
* 2 cups buttermilk
* 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
* 3 tablespoons hot sauce (Tabasco or similar)
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 1/4 cups corn chex cereal, crushed into crumbs
* 4 tablespoons butter
* 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut 1/2 breasts in half again, so chicken will cook through.
Directions:
***1) Combine buttermilk, garlic, hot sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl and stir until combined.
2) Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish. Pour buttermilk mixture over chicken, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
3) Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place corn flake crumbs in shallow dish and season stir in salt and ground black pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture and dredge in corn flake crumbs, coating completely.
4) Place coated chicken on foil (or parchment) lined baking sheet. Drizzle melted butter over chicken pieces. Bake until crispy and golden, approximately 35 minutes.
***Now for us, we did not have any milk, so I used fat-free mayo and added the hot sauce into the mix -- added a GREAT flavor!!!
Added a side of HOMEMADE Mash Potatoes (I Am usually an instant box kind of gal!) So this was a treat, a little corn and voila! Dinner for tonight and enough for lunch tomorrow!
MMM for the tummies and easy on the wallet!

PS - As always I thank you JESUS for the energy to come home and do all of this!!
