What You Need:

 

3 Tbsp margarine, melted

1/2 C cornflakes, crushed

2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

 

How to Make It:

 

Adjust the oven temperature to 375 and allow the oven to preheat.

Place the melted margarine into a shallow bowl.

In a separate shallow bowl combine the cornflakes, cheese and Italian seasoning.

Dip the chicken into the melted butter allowing any excess to drip off.

Roll the chicken in the cornflake mixture to completely coat.

Place the chicken into a shallow baking pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.

This budget dish makes great use of that last little bit of cereal left in the bottom of the box. Short on Parmesan cheese replace it with Romano cheese. Add a salad and a steamed vegetable for a budget meal that has a short prep time but goes a long way in the flavor department.
