Instructions
Preheat oven to 375˚. Set up three bowls with the following: 1) flour mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper; 2) an egg wash made by beating the eggs and milk together; 3) corn flake cereal mixed with cheese.
Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Dip chicken in flour, then into egg wash, then roll in cereal mixture, coating entire piece of chicken and place on baking pan.
Discard any unused cereal mixture after coating chicken. Bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning.
