Yummy Crispy Crunchy Cornflake Chicken

So lately my hubby and i have been eating better and trying to lose weight. Our habits are changing and were seeing the difference. Since we're wanting to change our habits I was convinced that I had cook healthier meals, so I turned to pinterest.com :) I have the app on my phone for easy access and Google is always a great reference.


Though I've made it a few times before, I thought I'd post it here since I have friends that are also wanting to lose weight. 

Ok so let's get to it! I was inspired to find something to fill my hubbys taste for crunchy fried chicken, so I found the healthier alternative. 
Cornflakes are crunchy and tasty and now awesome to cook with! We bake them, so even better for our bellies! 

Chicken tenderloins
Grounded Cornflakes w/added seasonings for flavor
1 egg
Some milk

That's all you need! I've read that greek yogurt makes an even healthier alternative for the egg and milk wash.
Wisk the egg with a splash of milk, dip chicken and drip excess.
Cover and press chicken in cornflake and seasoning mix.
Place on a flat dish. I put a little rack so the chicken doesn't get soggy when I take it out.
Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until chicken has cooked through.

For sides I made lemon rice and green beans.
Lemon rice was yummy!
1 cup of rice
1 cup of water
1 cup of chicken broth 
Juice of one lemon
Zest of one lemon
1tsp lemon pepper seasoning
Some salt to taste as well Mix in sauce pan and bring to a boil, turn to low and let cook until done. The green beans were cooked with olive oil and a bit of butter for taste and fresh chopped garlic with salt and pepper to taste. We cooked it lightly so we wouldn't cook all the nutrients out.



I know not to many people see this blog but hey, if you like it let me know. Or suggestions on the recipe to make it even better, that'd be awesome!
