Coupon Chaos Mama is taking the “fried” out of chicken this week, but still leaving all the flavor. This recipe is intended to pair with Publix’s Current Weekly Ad Sales.

NOT Fried Chicken
Ingredient prices are based on the Publix Circular starting Wed. or Thurs. depending on your location.

Ingredients:

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using 1 1/2 lbs split chicken breasts (thighs or legs will work too), remove the skins then rinse and pat dry. Prepare batter by mixing 1 cup milk and 1 egg together and beating until combined, next stir in 1 cup whole wheat flour until thick. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
• Prepare 3 cups corn flakes (or Whole Wheat Ritz crackers) by placing in a Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin(or I smash the heck out of them with the back of spoon- kinda therapeutic). You do want some texture so don’t smash them up too badly. Add 1/4 tsp of salt (you can also use garlic powder or another seasoning salt like Lawry’s) and mix with a fork.
• Place batter and crushed corn flakes (or Ritz) in shallow bowls. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with foil. Dip chicken pieces first in the batter, allowing the excess batter to drip off into the batter bowl, then place the battered chicken piece into the crushed corn flakes. You may have to press the chicken pieces in lightly to make sure they are coated. Flip and repeat.
• Place the dipped chicken on the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 45-60 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve with a mixed berry fruit salad.
