Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 ½ cups cornflakes cereal
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 cup walnut pieces
• 1 ¼ pounds chicken tenders

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine corn flakes and walnut pieces in a gallon-size resealable bag; press air out and seal. Crush corn flakes and walnuts using a rolling pin until cereal is finely crushed and walnuts are the size of rice. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper; shake bag to mix.

Step 3

Dip chicken tenders in the egg to coat, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Transfer chicken to corn flake mixture, 1 at a time, and gently shake until chicken is coated. Arrange coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and coating is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
