Ingredients

  • 8 chicken tenders (or about 1 lb chicken breast cut into strips)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon pepper

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal, crushed

  • Vegetable oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  • Prep the stations:
    Grab 3 shallow bowls or plates.

    • Bowl 1: Mix together flour, salt, and pepper.

    • Bowl 2: Whisk the eggs.

    • Bowl 3: Add the crushed Cap’n Crunch cereal (Tip: Toss the cereal in a Ziploc and smash with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form).

  • Coat the chicken:
    Dip each chicken tender first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat in the crushed cereal. Place each coated tender on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick spray.

  • Add oil:
    Lightly brush each tender with vegetable oil to help them get nice and crispy in the oven.

  • Bake:
    Bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes. The cereal will turn a lovely golden brown and the chicken will be cooked through.

 

  • Serve and dip:
    Remove from the oven and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces. Ranch, honey mustard, or BBQ are always big hits in our house!
