  • 1 cup buttermilk Can substitute with milk mixed with vinegar or lemon juice.
  • 2 cups crushed cornflakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for the baking sheet

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, take your chicken breasts and pour in the buttermilk. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. In a large bowl, mix crushed cornflakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Baking

For extra flavor, add cayenne pepper or your favorite herbs. For a crunchier texture, consider double-dipping the chicken in buttermilk before coating with cornflakes.
