Chicken Ala Rice Krispies

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"Moist and tender chicken with a nice soft buttery coated breading on the outside. I serve this with a side of chicken flavored rice or noodles and vegetable. My husband first flinched when I told him about the Rice Krispies coating, but loved it when he tried it; you would never know it was cereal coated!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts, about 1 lb
• 1 1⁄2 cups crispy rice cereal, crushed (I use the food processor for this, gets it well crushed and I have always used store brand Krispies)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1⁄4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted

directions

1. In one bowl, mix cereal crumbs, seasonings & flour.
2. Place the melted butter in another bowl.
3. Dip the breasts into melted butter then coat with the cereal mixture.
4. Place into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
5. Drizzle remaining melted on top of chicken and coat with remaining mixture if you like extra breading.
6. Bake, uncovered at 400°F for 30 minutes or a bit longer for outside crispiness.

Good recipe. I added some chile powder to the coating mix as well. I also used a butter spray with a small amount of butter for taste. I was really crispy and good. I found the flour was more than needed. Next time I'll cut it in half. Thanks

Great recipe. I omitted the flour and used Parmesan instead (son has Celiac). Also added onion and garlic powder to the seasoning.

I love this old recipe! My Mom used to make it all the time -- it's a great way to seal in moisture in skinless chicken, but you still need to watch to make sure breasts don't dry out. I'm going to try it with boneless skinless thighs. Interesting, we always thought the margerine version tasted better than butter; a rare thing.

This came out really moist and tasty. I took the suggestion about adding a little more poultry seasoning. I served this with corn and lipton cheese/brocoli rice with cresent rolls. Leftovers were good too! Thanks for the great recipe. I'm going to add this to our rotation

We really enjoyed the coating. It was a nice change. The only thing I would do differently is too add some extra poultry seasoning next time since we thought it could use a bit more flavor.
