Oven baking chicken can yield amazing crispy chicken and this recipe proves it hands down! Ready in just 45 minutes, tender chicken breasts are coated in cornflakes and baked until golden for a deep crunch with every bite. The three step breading process layers flour on chicken, then buttermilk on flour, and finally the cornflake mixture to ensure the coating adheres to the chicken while the chicken itself is insulated for perfect cooking. Make this for a wonderful weeknight dinner treat and serve alongside green beans and corn for a down-home delicious plate. Leftovers make for great sandwiches or a crunchy chicken addition to a cool green salad.
