Where did the month of June go? I had grand plans to share more recipes using cereal last month, but somehow I couldn’t find the time to actually compose the posts. I did the cooking, but I’m guessing my week-long beach vacation had something to do with time just slipping away from me.
When I was given the task to create recipes using Kellogg’s cereals, my husband wanted me to share his recipe for Corn Flake Chicken. This is actually a recipe from his mom that he has adapted to suite our tastes.
Corn Flake Chicken
A fun way to use Corn Flakes to liven up your chicken.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups Kellogg's Corn Flakes
- 1 cup potato flakes
- 1 tablespoon Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
^^ This little guy like to help! ^^
The Corn Flakes give the chicken a nice little crunch, while the Tony’s adds just the right amount of seasoning. You don’t need a list of 15 ingredients to make a meal that tastes good and I think this recipe shows that.
I thoroughly enjoy when the hubby takes control in the kitchen! Especially when I get good food like this.
Have you cooked with cereal before? If so, what did you make?
Angela says
Loving that pic of the proud chef! My favorite fried chicken is breaded with corn flakes. Good stuff!
Danielle says
Yum! I make something similar with ritz crackers but love this version.
Laura Lohr says
I’ll have to give this a try! I’m always trying to spruce up our chicken, so it’s not so boring. This looks great!
Stefani says
Very cute picture of your son! I LOVE making chicken and will have to try it with corn flakes. I have been avoiding the oven since our weather has been in the triple digits. As soon as it cools down, I am back in the kitchen…
Erika Bragdon says
That looks delicious! Pinning! 🙂
Robin {Mom Foodie} says
The only thing my mom breaded anything with when I was a kid was shake n bake or crumbled corn flakes. You gave me some flashbacks…lol
Donna says
What a great pic of your son! I’ll give this a try, soon!
Nichol says
MMM yummy! I like using wheat flakes for recipes!
Lisa says
That looks really yummy!
Jennifer Mecurio says
I make corn flake chicken all the time. I love the picture of your son!
Colleen says
Looks delicious, we eat a lot of chicken so finding new ways to make it is a plus.
Maryann says
we used to make this when I was a kid.
Jenn- The Rebel Chick says
Um yum, love that he put a touch of creole seasoning to the mix.
Lolo says
That looks really tasty! I need to try it with the creole seasoning too!
Kathleen says
I’ve made desserts with cereal before, but not main coarses. The chicken looks yummy though.
Shell Feis says
That looks great! I have coated chicken with fiber one cereal & also with frosted flakes which was surprisingly good! I meant to buy corn flakes but got the tiger out of habit.
Marcie W. says
I think this looks like a great alternative to fried chicken and seems a lot easier to prepare.
Leilani says
Sounds yummy! My husband used Cap’n Crunch cereal once to make chicken and it was… interesting, lol.
Tammy says
Corn Flakes make great breading! I like the addition of the creole spices to this. Planet Hollywood used to (maybe they still do?) had Captain Crunch Chicken Fingers on their menu, I ordered them when we were in San Fran many years ago, I loved them!
Jai says
That looks really good. I guess I’m not much of a cook but using cornflakes had never crossed my mind as breading. Love the hat too!
Tiff @ Babes and Kids says
I don’t think I’ve ever used cereal in my cooking before, but this recipe looks yummy. Your little helper is pretty darn cute too.
Jan says
What kind of potato flakes do you use?
Crystal says
I can’t remember which ones I used for this one but I usually use Betty Crocker Yukon Gold. Hope this helps
