GUILTLESS CHICKEN NUGGETS


CRISPY CHICKEN NUGGETS

INGREDIENTS
2 2/3 cups cornflakes
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 large egg
1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into 24 chunks

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil nonstick spray. Process the cornflakes into crumbs in a food processor or blender and scrape into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, and paprika in another shallow bowl. Beat the egg in a separate shallow bowl. Working one at a time coat the chicken chunks with the flour mixture. Dip into the egg to coat and then dredge in the cornflakes crumbs. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Lightly spray the chicken with the olive oil nonstick spray. Bake 6 minutes; turn and continue baking until golden and cooked through 5-6 minutes longer.
