Capn Crunch Chicken

Thursday Dec 24, 2009

Submitted by Whim
Serves 2

Ingredients

2 c. Captain Crunch cereal 2 c. corn flakes
1 egg 1 c. milk
1 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp black pepper
2 lbs chicken breast cut into 1 oz. cube Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals & set aside.  Beat the egg with milk & set aside.
  2. Stir together the flour, onion & garlic powders & black pepper.
  3. Dredge the tenders in the flour, then the egg wash, then the cereal mixture.
  4. Either use a deep fryer to fry or pan fry the tenders on low until they are done.  Be careful not to turn the temperature up too high or the cereal will start to caramelize.

Chef’s Note: If you like more sweet taste, or less sweet, adjust the cereals to get the right level.  Don’t use olive oil for the frying; they don’t taste right.
