Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 cups Chex cereal (make sure you're using rice or corn, GF)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 dash cayenne
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray nonstick 9x13 pan to grease. Chicken breasts should be no more than 1" thick, pound chicken down if needed.
  • Combine Chex, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne, and paprika in food processor. Pulse until you get a fine, even consistency from your coating mixture. Pour into wide, shallow bowl.
  • Beat egg with salt and pepper to taste in wide, shallow bowl.
  • Dip chicken in egg mixture and dredge in coating. Place in pan, and bake for 20 minutes or until coating is set and golden.
  • Remove pan with chicken from the oven, and pour sauce over the top of chicken. Top with remaining cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes more until chicken is done and sauce is heated through.
  • Serve with hot cooked GF pasta (Sam Mills is my favorite) or polenta and a green salad.
  • ***Allergen modifications: Try using plain yogurt to coat chicken instead of egg if you are allergic to eggs. Leave cheese out of coating mixture and topping if you are dairy free.
